Divorce Lending Association

The Divorce Lending Association® is redefining how mortgage and family law professionals approach divorce. Founded in 2014, we are the premier professional organization dedicated to educating and equipping mortgage professionals and legal practitioners in the specialized field of divorce mortgage planning. Our mission is simple yet powerful: To help divorcing homeowners make informed, strategic decisions about their real property and mortgage financing—decisions that align with both their short- and long-term financial goals. Through our flagship Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®) certification and continuing education programs (CFP®, CDFA®, CLE, CME and CJE), we provide a holistic framework for evaluating mortgage options within the broader context of divorce, tax implications, and overall financial planning. CDLP®s are trained to collaborate with the full divorce team, offering insights that minimize tax burdens, reduce interest expenses, and maximize post-divorce cash flow. This isn’t just mortgage lending—it’s strategic financial planning through the lens of divorce. Whether you're a mortgage professional ready to elevate your business or a family law professional seeking smarter solutions for your clients, the Divorce Lending Association offers the tools, training, and community to support your success.
