Chapter 40 Author: Steven Bradley
Steven Bradley brings a distinguished career in law enforcement with a specialization in investigating crimes against persons, including sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking, and crimes against the elderly. His expertise led to a prestigious recruitment by the FBI, where he graduated with honors from the FBI Academy and served in a critical role investigating cyber-enabled crimes over 24 years—ranging from cyberstalking and network intrusions to financial exploitation and the apprehension of child predators.
Chapter 40's Digital Revolution in Modern Divorce
The days of driving across town for every meeting, drowning in paper documents, and waiting months for court dates are ending—technology is revolutionizing how divorce works, making it faster, cheaper, and less emotionally draining. In this forward-looking chapter, safety and technology expert Steven Bradley and attorney Tracy Ann Moore-Grant reveal how digital innovations are transforming every aspect of divorce, from initial filing through long-term co-parenting. They demonstrate how platforms like dtour.life and OurFamilyWizard aren't just digitizing old processes but fundamentally reimagining how families navigate separation.
The authors provide comprehensive coverage of game-changing technologies: online mediation that eliminates commute stress, real-time alcohol testing that ensures child safety, AI-enhanced legal research that democratizes information access, and virtual court hearings that reduce backlogs. They address critical considerations often overlooked in tech enthusiasm—privacy concerns, the digital divide, and why technology supplements rather than replaces professional guidance. Most importantly, this chapter shows how the Amicable Divorce Network leverages these innovations to create a streamlined, collaborative process that would have been impossible just years ago.
