What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

Wevorce helps divorcing couples focus on parenting, not fighting. Our product guides couples through a structured, mediated settlement process with attorneys trained in collaboration. We connect them with experts in finance and parenting as needed, replacing the traditional adversarial legal route with a more affordable, paced experience that puts kids first.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Bothell, WA and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose to stay in Bothell because it's home for us and where we've built the product and early team. We can operate remotely or travel as needed for YC while keeping close to our users and legal network here.
