The future of divorce is now in session.
It's time to shift the focus away from win-lose in divorce and toward preserving relationships and financial futures.
our vision
A culture where the practice of divorce promotes fairness, dignity, and cooperation, and is no longer considered alternative dispute resolution, but the norm.
our mission
MDH is a grassroots movement that aims to shift the destructive win/lose orientation of the traditional, adversarial divorce process to one of preserving family relationships and securing financial futures so that couples in conflict can restructure their lives in a healthy way.
our path
- Offering interdisciplinary forums for professionals to gain advanced knowledge of legal, financial, emotional and parenting issues surrounding divorce.
- Building an inclusive, engaged community of high-integrity and compassionate professionals.
- Creating consistent, unified messaging and educational content for the public around healthy divorce.
- Supporting and nurturing academic research, case studies, as well as innovative, entrepreneurial ideas and practices that aim to achieve this goal.
our roots
It all started with a Meet-Up.
The symposium is organized by Make Divorce Healthier - Philadelphia Region, a meetup group founded by Main Line Family Law Center in 2013.
Make Divorce Healthier is all about bringing together passionate professionals who have the courage and commitment to re-envision what divorce can be for our clients and what business can be like for each of us.
Join our community of dedicated professionals who care about making divorce a healthier process.
