## Getting Divorced

To get divorced using beYou, you must see a beYou Lawyer.

It is advised that if you are getting a divorced that you remove yourself from the beYou family to which you belong. While it isn't required, it may save you some stress later on.

If you are the head of household and seeking divorce, you can manually remove your spouse from your family, via the family tab on your beYou Profile.

Once your request for divorce has been submitted by your lawyer, you will need to go to your family tab (on your beYou profile page) and confirm the application process. Divorce applications take approx. 5 days to be fully processed.

After the Divorce application completes, each member will receive notification that the divorce has been completed. You will not receive a certificate or prim of any kind.

## Processing a Divorce Application

If you are an active beYou Lawyer, you will purchase forms from an educator on the markets. Once purchased, they will automatically be added to your assets based. This will then allow you to submit these forms on your lawyer page on the main beYou website.

Enter in the names of the married couples and allow the name lookup to auto-complete the names to ensure correct spelling. If you mistype the name(s) they will not be found and the application will fail. Both parties must confirm the divorce OR it must be demonstrated that one or more parties will not confirm.

To process a Divorce application:

1. Go to http://beyouworld.com/professions/law.
2. Select the Divorces tab (it's the third tab).
3. Click New Divorce.
4. Customer Name\*: Enter the username of person requesting the divorce. When the name starts to auto-complete in the drop down list, select it.
5. Participant Name: Enter the username of Spouse #2. When the name starts to auto-complete in the drop down list, select it.
6. Click the 'Initiate Divorce' button.

**All parties involved will have to confirm their involvement** in the Divorce by visiting their profile page and clicking on the confirmation at the bottom on the family section of their profile page. Failure of all parties confirming will result in the application not completing.

beYou Divorce certificates take up to five days to process once all of the confirmations have been approved and the application filed. Once the process has been completed, the fulfillment code will appear on your Divorces page and you can send it to your client.

**REMINDER**: When typing the names of the people involved, please allow the form to auto-lookup the names matching what you are typing. This will ensure you get the correct spelling of all names involved. The auto lookup will start working after at least 3 characters are typed.

\***Customer Name**: The customer name field is for the person who will be treated as the main party of the Divorce. This carries significance with respect to families. If either party is in a family ensure that they are treated as the customer. If the other participant is not in a family already, they will be added into the customers family when the certificate is ready.

### Non-Confirming Partner

If one or more parties do not confirm they can be auto-confirmed by submitting a request via the beYou Support Portal.

### Cancelling a Divorce

Divorce requests can be cancelled if done before the form is fully processed. The lawyer will have to do this by clicking the request on the divorce tab, then choosing the cancel button.

Divorce requests can not be reversed once they have been processed and assigned a fulfillment code.
