divorcd partners can write articles for Advice from our partners. There's no extra charge. Every article is read by us before it goes live, and we publish only what helps someone going through a separation.
The standard we hold articles to
- Accurate. Every figure, fee, time limit and point of law must be correct on the day we publish, with the source named, such as GOV.UK, the court, a regulator or legislation. Say which UK nation the article covers, because divorce law differs in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
- Useful, not a sales pitch. Explain how something works, what it costs and what to watch out for, so a reader could act on it whether or not they use you. Don't ask readers to buy, book or call, and don't describe your own services or prices in the article.
- Fair to others. No claims to be the best, cheapest, fastest or only option, and no comparisons with named competitors.
- No reviews or testimonials. divorcd doesn't publish reviews, ratings, client quotes or success stories, paid or unpaid.
- Private. No real cases that could identify anyone, even with names changed.
- Plain English. Write for someone tired and worried, not for other professionals. Explain any legal term the first time you use it.
How your article appears
- It's published in Advice from our partners, separately from our own guides, with your firm's name and the label "Written by [your firm], a divorcd partner" at the top.
- The author box at the end can include one link to your website. Because partners pay to be listed, that link is marked as sponsored for search engines, as Google requires for links connected with payment.
- We may edit for accuracy, clarity and length, and we'll send you the final version before it goes live. We can decline an article that doesn't meet this standard.
- If something in your article stops being correct, tell us and we'll update it. We may remove an article if it can't be kept accurate, or when your partnership ends.
Your own professional rules
You're responsible for following your own regulator's rules on publicity. Solicitors: the SRA Code of Conduct, including accurate publicity. Financial advisers: an article can be a financial promotion, so your firm's compliance team must approve it in writing before you send it.
How to send an article
- Email it to [email protected] from the email address on your partner account, as a Word document or in the body of the email.
- Aim for 600 to 1,200 words, with a working title and a list of the sources you used.
- Tell us the name and role of the author, and whether you'd like a photo of them in the author box (square, at least 400 by 400 pixels).
We aim to reply within five working days.
