The Divorce Lending Association and CDLP® program has really opened doors of partnerships with not only divorce professionals like family law attorneys, but estate and elder law attorneys. Being a CDLP® has also given me the opportunity to deepen my relationship with real estate agents and financial advisors. Given the opportunity to explain how we help navigate marital settlement agreements and mortgage planning creates an admiration that I am not just another lender. As we say at the DLA, “Just because it’s a legal option, doesn’t mean it’s a lending option.

The one word to describe my experience is "Eye-Opening". I really loved the knowledge that I learned and how to set ourselves apart from others in the business and to focus on helping the divorcing group. The class scared me to death. It was some really great and useful information and I appreciated the fact that you looked for an alternative to us having to chase clients and realtors for every transaction that we do. I thought it was really hard the first day and then I decided to buckle-up buttercup and put my big girl pants on to make it through. (10 out of 10 Rating)

The one word to describe my experience is "enlightening!" I feel after 35 years in our industry, I have found another way to love what we do. Problem solving coupled with our abilities to communicate clearly and make a difference. Divorce is not fun....generally speaking. Being able to assist with the Divorce Team, early on in the process so to create better remedies and "after divorce," peace for divorcing spouses is needed. Family Law Attorney, Financial Planners, Mediators, Divorce Coaches and the divorcing spouses will certainly benefit from a good CDLP. This course certainly exceeded my expectations. I cannot really speak to exactly what my initial expectations were, however this course itself, the areas that we covered, and Jody's extensive explanations and examples kept me engaged and interested. I actually used the word "riveting," at one point.! LOL! (10 out of 10)

The one word to describe my experience is 'thorough.' From the class to the follow-up after. The whole experience has been a welcome change from the surface level courses I had taken regarding other lending specialities. (9 out of 10)

The one word to describe my experience is "EXCITED!" This certification came at the right time. I was already thinking of devoting my business to divorcing clients. I was also working on creating a meet up with professionals that have gone through divorce, such as insurance agent, financial advisor, CPA, positivity coach, therapist, etc...and have a safe and comforting place for divorcing people to come and and not feel judged, embarrassed, have a place to speak freely. We will also have seminars to educate them on insurance, credit, finances, mental health, etc...to help them navigate their new life after divorce and most importantly, having a place to feel welcomed and know they are not alone and they have someone to be there and help. This certification fits perfectly with my vision and purpose. I am excited. (10 out of 10)
