Covorce

Terms of Use

Effective October 26, 2026

Important information (the short version)

This summary sits above the full terms. The full terms control if anything here differs.

  • Covorce is a guide, not a lawyer. It helps you and your spouse talk through your divorce and organize what you decide. It gives general legal information, not legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
  • It's a first step. Covorce helps you prepare. You choose the next step: filing on your own, using a mediator, or hiring an attorney.
  • Information can be wrong or out of date. Laws change and every situation is different. Covorce's guidance, AI responses, estimates and links may contain errors or miss something that matters in your case.
  • Estimates are ballparks, not predictions. Support amounts and durations are unofficial starting points for discussion. They are not what a court will order.
  • Get an attorney's review before anything is final. Before you sign an agreement or file anything with a court, have each spouse's documents reviewed by a licensed attorney in your state. Each spouse may want their own.
  • Nothing here is binding. Agreeing in Covorce is not a legal agreement or a court order. Only a signed agreement and a court's approval make it final.
  • Covorce isn't right for every situation. If there is abuse, threats, pressure, or a safety concern, or if your situation is complex, stop and get independent help. In an emergency, call 911. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233.
  • Both of you can see everything. It's a shared conversation on one screen. There are no private notes.

Terms of Use

Effective October 26, 2026. These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Covorce, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company ("Covorce," "we," "us"). They govern your use of the Covorce website, app, conversation guide, tools and materials (the "Service").

1. Agreeing to these Terms

By using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service. Because Covorce is used by two people together, each spouse must agree to these Terms for themselves before starting a session. One spouse cannot accept for the other.

2. Who can use Covorce

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement. The Service is designed for people considering or going through a divorce or legal separation in the United States, in the states Covorce supports. It is not designed for use outside the United States.

3. What Covorce is

Covorce is an educational tool. It guides two spouses through a structured conversation about their situation, shares general information about how their state's family law approaches common issues, organizes what they say and decide, and produces a summary they can take to their next step. That next step may be handling the divorce yourselves, working with a mediator, or hiring an attorney. Covorce is meant to help you start the process, not to complete it.

4. Not legal advice; no attorney-client relationship

Covorce is not a law firm and is not a substitute for a lawyer. Nothing in the Service is legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created by using it, by anything you share in it, or by any communication with us. Covorce does not represent either spouse, does not act as a mediator, and does not advocate for either of you. We do not review your specific facts to tell you what you should do, what you are entitled to, or how a court will rule.

Covorce gives the same neutral information to both spouses. Your interests may differ from your spouse's. Only a lawyer who represents you alone can advise you about your own interests.

5. Accuracy and limits of the information

We work to keep the information in Covorce accurate and current, but we do not guarantee that it is. Family law differs by state and sometimes by county, it changes often, and courts apply it to each family's specific facts. Information in the Service may be incomplete, out of date, simplified, or wrong, and it may not apply to your situation. State summaries, rules, citations and links reflect our research as of the date shown and may not reflect recent changes in statutes, court rules, or case law.

Do not rely on the Service as your only source of information for any legal decision. Confirm anything important with your state's official court resources or a licensed attorney.

6. Estimates, ballparks and calculators

Some parts of the Service show estimates, such as a spousal support ballpark, a duration range, or a payment comparison. These are unofficial starting points for discussion. They are based on simplified versions of state formulas or general guidelines, use only the information you enter, and leave out many factors a court considers. They are not a prediction of what a court will order, not a recommendation of what you should agree to, and not a substitute for the official calculations your state requires. Where your state provides an official calculator or worksheet, use it, and have the results reviewed by an attorney.

7. AI-generated content

The conversation guide uses artificial intelligence. AI can misunderstand what you say, leave things out, or produce statements that are inaccurate. Covorce limits what the AI can say about the law to information we have reviewed, but errors can still occur. Treat every AI response as general information to check, not as a conclusion about your case.

8. Your decisions and attorney review

You are responsible for your own decisions. Before either of you signs a settlement or separation agreement, files anything with a court, or gives up any right (including rights to property, support, retirement benefits, or parenting time), we strongly recommend that each spouse have the documents reviewed by their own licensed attorney in the state where you will file.

The law sets deadlines and procedural requirements that Covorce does not track for you. In some states, failing to raise a claim before a divorce is final can mean losing it permanently. An attorney can tell you which deadlines apply to you.

9. When not to use Covorce

Covorce is designed for spouses who can talk through their situation safely and voluntarily. Do not use it, or stop using it, if:

  • there is domestic violence, abuse, threats, stalking, or fear for anyone's safety;
  • either spouse feels pressured, intimidated, or unable to speak freely in front of the other;
  • either spouse lacks the capacity to make decisions, for example because of a serious illness or impairment;
  • there are urgent issues such as a protective order, a risk of a child being taken, or an emergency involving money or housing.

Covorce may also be a poor fit for situations involving business ownership, complex investments or pensions, significant debts or bankruptcy, military service, immigration status, spouses in different states or countries, or a contested custody dispute. In those cases, talk to an attorney first.

If you are in danger, call 911. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233 or by texting START to 88788.

10. Shared sessions and consent

A Covorce session is a shared conversation. Everything entered is visible to both spouses on that screen, and there are no private notes. Enter only information you are comfortable sharing with your spouse. Don't enter information on your spouse's behalf without their participation.

When both spouses confirm a summary in the Service, that confirmation records only that each person reviewed it on the shared screen. It is not identity verification, not a signed agreement, not a binding contract, and not court approval.

11. Documents and plans you create

Summaries, action plans, PDFs and checklists produced by the Service are organizing tools. They are not court forms, are not prepared for filing, and are not legally binding. Covorce does not file documents with any court, serve papers, or confirm that you qualify for any procedure. Lists of court forms and steps are a starting point; your court may require different or additional forms.

12. Your responsibilities

You agree to provide information that is true to the best of your knowledge, to use the Service only for your own lawful purposes, and not to:

  • use the Service to deceive, pressure, or harm your spouse or anyone else;
  • access or use another person's account or saved session without permission;
  • interfere with the Service, probe it for vulnerabilities, scrape it, or use automated means to access it;
  • copy, resell, or build a competing product from the Service or its content.

13. Accounts and saved sessions

You can use parts of the Service without an account. If you don't sign in, your progress is stored only in your current browser tab and may be lost. If you create an account, you're responsible for keeping your login secure. A saved session belongs to the account that saved it; your spouse cannot open it from a different account unless the Service offers that feature. We may suspend or close accounts that violate these Terms.

14. Privacy

You may share sensitive personal and financial information in the Service. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use and protect it, how AI providers process conversation content, how long we keep it, and how to delete it. Do not enter information you are not comfortable having processed as described there.

15. Official resources and third-party links

The Service links to courts, government agencies, official calculators and other third-party sites. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.

16. Referrals and partners

The Service may offer to send your summary to attorneys, mediators, financial professionals, or document services. We share your information with a partner only when both spouses choose to send it. Partners are independent; we don't supervise their work, and we don't endorse or guarantee any of them. If we receive compensation from a partner, we will say so where the referral is offered. Any relationship you form with a partner is between you and that partner.

17. Our content and your license

The Service, including its software, design, text and state guidance, belongs to Covorce or its licensors and is protected by law. We give you a limited, personal, non-transferable license to use the Service for your own divorce or separation. You own the information you enter, and you give us permission to use it to provide and improve the Service as described in our Privacy Policy.

18. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, COVORCE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION, ESTIMATE, OR OUTCOME WILL BE CORRECT OR ACHIEVED.

19. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, COVORCE IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF MONEY, PROPERTY, SUPPORT, RIGHTS, OR LEGAL CLAIMS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR $100. Some states do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

20. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold Covorce harmless from claims by third parties arising from your misuse of the Service or your violation of these Terms, to the extent allowed by law.

21. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Oregon, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about these Terms or the Service will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Oregon, unless the law of your state requires otherwise.

22. Changes and general terms

We may update these Terms. If we make material changes, we will post the new version with a new effective date and, where required, ask you to accept it. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms. We may change or stop offering any part of the Service.

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Covorce about the Service.
