In a divorce, the home is usually the largest asset and the hardest decision. The Divorce Lending Association trains and certifies professionals who answer housing and mortgage questions in a divorce and connects divorcing families and their professionals with them.

Real estate professional? Learn about the REM-S™ certification. CDLPs do not give tax or legal advice.
Consumers
Keep the house, sell it, or buy the next one? A Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®) helps you see which housing options will actually work for your household, and why, before your agreement is final.
Divorce Professionals
Attorneys, mediators, financial neutrals and divorce coaches work with a CDLP® to find the gaps in a settlement agreement that would close off a household's housing options, while the terms can still change.
Certified Divorce Housing Neutral
For collaborative teams, mediators and courts. When the housing question needs an answer from someone with no stake in any loan, a Certified Divorce Housing Neutral™ tests every option for both households against one standard, and does no loan for either spouse.
CDLP® Certification and Training
For licensed mortgage loan originators. The CDLP® certification trains you in divorce mortgage planning, so you contribute to the divorce case and not only the loan, and build a practice on referrals from family law professionals.
