She is determined to change the experience by providing education and smart efficiency with expansive day-to-day tools that are designed so both clients and professionals can seamlessly work on and understand the same financial and other case-related data. dtour.life is designed from the ground up to fundamentally redefine this life transition for both spouses and professionals.
Chapter 20: Using Divorce Technology
The divorce industry's dirty secret is that outdated, paper-based processes artificially inflate costs, create errors, and keep you dependent on expensive professional hours for basic information gathering. In this revolutionary chapter, dtour.life founder Storey Jones reveals how modern divorce technology fundamentally transforms what has traditionally been a complicated, opaque, and document-heavy nightmare into a transparent, efficient, and accurate process that puts you back in control. This isn't just about digitizing paperwork—it's about reimagining divorce as a data-driven process where information flows seamlessly, errors disappear, and thousand-dollar professional tasks become simple self-service activities.
Jones demonstrates how the right technology platform serves as digital infrastructure for your entire divorce team, eliminating the endless email chains, lost documents, conflicting spreadsheets, and costly miscommunications that plague traditional divorce. Through specific feature highlights, he shows how technology addresses every pain point—from building comprehensive financial pictures without manual data entry to creating parenting plans collaboratively without contentious meetings. Most importantly, this chapter reveals how technology democratizes divorce, making sophisticated financial analysis and document management accessible regardless of your tech comfort level or financial situation.
