The ADFP does not endorse, support or recommend specific members. It is your responsibility to carefully research, interview and identify competent and trustworthy professionals before you hire one. All ADFP members are independent practitioners and most are certified, licensed and/or approved by a recognized Board, Agency or State Licensing Authority. This information is provided to the ADFP by each member annually and the ADFP does not validate member credentials. You should verify such credentials with the appropriate granting authorities, including but not limited to public, private, and state licensing boards. As independent practitioners, each member maintains his/her own fee schedule, business practice, location, and credentials. Practitioners listed on this website are current, paid-in-full ADFP members, in good standing. If a divorce practitioner is not listed on this website, please contact the ADFP directly to confirm his/her membership in the ADFP at 1-888-838-7773 or by contacting the president directly.
