There Is Another Way to Divorce
Your divorce. Your decisions. Your way. You stay in control.
Decisions that fit together. Stay in control of the house, money, retirement, debt, and parenting. We bring them together in one connected plan, so the legal process follows your plan instead of driving your divorce. That's Divorce Architecture.
One fixed fee. No billable hours. $7,000 to $25,000, agreed upfront. By comparison, a complex divorce fought in court can cost $100,000 or more.
Plan first. File after. In 30 days, you'll know how your assets will be divided, what each household can afford, where you'll live, and what your kids' weeks will look like. Then independent attorneys review and finalize your plan, so you stay in control.
How It Works
A better starting point for divorce.
One integrated process. One clear resolution.
01
See the Whole Picture
Your home, income, debt, any businesses, properties, retirement, and family.
02
Understand Your Options
See how every choice plays out for both households: the house, investments, retirement, a business, support, and the parenting schedule.
03
Work Through the Decisions
Clarify your priorities, weigh the tradeoffs, and decide what works for your life ahead, across both households.
04
Build the Resolution
One connected plan, ready for independent attorney review and finalization. Your plan. Your way.
Technology organizes the complexity. Human expertise drives the strategy.
This Is Divorce Architecture
Not a law firm. Not mediation. Not collaborative divorce.
We build the resolution. An independent attorney takes it from there.
By then, the major decisions have already been worked through. The attorney provides legal advice, prepares the documents and files them with the court.
See Your Divorce Before You Decide It.
See how decisions about the house, retirement, cash and debt can affect your financial life after divorce.
Traditional Divorce Starts With the Legal Case.
Divorce Architecture Starts With Your Future.

Why I Built Rainier & Hawthorne
A Better Way Is Possible.
“I didn’t build another divorce service. I built the alternative I believed should have existed.”
David M. Irwin, Jr. — Founder
After 25 years in corporate strategy, I knew complicated transitions work better when the strategy comes before the execution.
Then I went through the traditional divorce system myself.
I saw one connected problem broken into separate fights, professionals and bills.
I believed there had to be a better way. So I built one.
We call it Divorce Architecture.
Turn your “What now?”
into your “What’s next.”
