Rainier and Hawthorne, LLC

The divorce system is broken. We rebuilt how it starts.

Rainier & Hawthorne created Divorce Architecture — a different way to approach divorce.

Traditional divorce usually starts with lawyers, filings and legal process, then tries to work toward a resolution from there.

We start with the decisions.

The house. Money. Retirement. Debt. Parenting. Two future households. A business, when there is one.

Rainier & Hawthorne helps clients see the whole picture, understand their options, run the numbers and work through the major decisions before the legal work begins.

That work is organized through our 30-Day Resolution Framework and supported by technology that helps bring the financial and practical pieces together.

Technology organizes the complexity. Human expertise drives the strategy.

Clients work within a defined fixed-fee engagement, so they know the scope and Rainier & Hawthorne fee before they begin.

Once the major decisions have been worked through, an attorney provides legal advice, prepares the legal documents and handles the court filing.

Rainier & Hawthorne is not a law firm, mediation practice, collaborative divorce practice or divorce coaching service.

Less fighting. Less delay. Less wasted money. More control over what comes next.

Divorce Architecture. Build the resolution first.
