Reach the Audience That Matters Most to Your Practice

Every person who reads Top 10 Divorce Lawyers is already thinking about divorce, custody, asset division, or family law. They are not casual browsers. They are people in the middle of a legal situation, actively searching for answers — and ready to take action.

If you are a divorce attorney, a family law practitioner, a legal writer, or a legal marketing professional, contributing a guest post to this platform puts your name, your firm, and your expertise directly in front of that audience.

This is not a generic blog. It is a focused, niche-specific family law publication that takes editorial quality seriously. We are selective about what we publish — and that selectivity is precisely what makes a link and byline here valuable.

Who Should Contribute

We welcome guest post submissions from:

Divorce and family law attorneys: Who want to share practical expertise and build visibility with people actively seeking legal guidance
Legal writers: With a track record of covering family law, courts, or the legal system accurately
Legal marketing professionals: Working on behalf of a family law firm or practice
Law students and legal academics: Writing on family law topics grounded in research and sourced from verifiable legal references
Mediators and family law consultants: Who work adjacent to the divorce process

You do not need to be a practicing attorney to contribute. You do need to demonstrate genuine knowledge of the topic you are writing about, and you need to write for a non-legal audience — people who are trying to understand their situation, not pass the bar exam.

What You Get as a Contributor

Targeted referral traffic: Our readers are not general internet browsers. They are people actively researching divorce and Family Law and looking for answers to specific legal questions.

Author bio and byline: You receive a published author bio of up to 50 words, establishing your name and credentials alongside your content. For attorneys, this is a direct E-E-A-T signal that builds niche authority over time.
Niche authority positioning: Being published on a dedicated family law platform signals to readers — and to search engines — that your perspective carries weight in the divorce and family law space.

Topics We Do Not Accept

To keep the editorial integrity of the site intact, we decline the following:

Promotional content — Articles that read as advertisements for a specific law firm, attorney, or legal service are rejected outright. Your byline is your promotion. The article is for the reader.
Topics outside divorce and family law — We do not publish articles on personal injury, criminal defense, immigration, estate planning, or any other legal area, even if there is a tangential connection to family law.
Republished or previously published content — All submissions must be original and not published elsewhere before appearing on this site. After publication here, you may republish on your own site with a canonical reference back.
AI-generated content — We check every submission for AI generation. Submissions that appear fully machine-generated or spun are rejected without exception.
Content without accurate sourcing — Any article that makes legal claims without grounding them in verifiable statutes, case law references, or authoritative legal sources will be returned for revision or rejected.
Link-stuffed articles — Articles that exist primarily as containers for keyword-rich anchor text links are rejected. The content must serve the reader first.

Submission Guidelines

To ensure that we deliver quality content to our readers, here are a few simple guidelines that we would want you to stick to.

Your article should deliver some information or benefit to our valuable readers. We do not accept any sort of promotional content.
We only accept postings on topics relevant to our domain; that is, you can write about divorce & family lawyers and anything around that.
The article must be 100% unique and well-researched. No AI-spun or low-quality content.
Word Count: We encourage you to keep your post genuine and meaningful with wordcount somewhere around 800–1500 words or more. You can write anywhere between these limits, as per the requirement of the topic you choose.
Use clear headings (H2 and H3) to break up the content. Write in short paragraphs. Use bullet points or numbered lists where they genuinely help readability, not to pad word count.
We will be giving 1 backlink to your website/social media channel.
Write for a non-lawyer who understand the content very well. Legal jargon is permitted only when it is immediately explained.
Accuracy: If you reference state laws, statutes, or court procedures, those references must reflect current law. Do not generalise across all 50 states without noting that laws vary by jurisdiction. Where relevant, note which states your article applies to.
Include a brief author bio of up to 50 words. The bio should include your name, your role or professional background, and any relevant credentials. You may include your law firm name. The bio is not a place for marketing copy — keep it professional.
By submitting your article, you agree to us editing your post so that it suits our standards and is SEO-friendly.
Images are optional but welcome. If you include images, provide them in JPG or PNG format at a minimum of 800 pixels wide. Include a brief alt text description for each image. Do not submit images with embedded watermarks or that you do not have the rights to use.
Just like you, we genuinely hate plagiarism and auto-generated content. We do not entertain software-spun content. We only allow original posts.
Links must be placed naturally within the content, adding real value to readers.
Anchor text should be relevant, non-spammy, and descriptive.
The linked website must be legitimate, have good content, and not engage in spam practices.
Once posted on our website, you should not post the content anywhere else.
Once your article meets all guidelines, you may submit it for review.
We typically respond within 2-3 business days.

Submission Process:

Here is exactly what happens after you submit:

Initial review (1–3 business days) — Your submission is reviewed for topic relevance, basic quality, and adherence to these guidelines. If the submission does not meet the minimum bar, we will let you know within this window. We do not ghost contributors.
Editorial review (up to 5 business days) — Accepted submissions enter our editorial queue. Our team reviews for accuracy, tone, structure, and compliance with our no-legal-advice policy. We will contact you if substantive revisions are needed.
Publication — Once approved, your article is scheduled and published. We will notify you of the published URL so you can share it across your channels.
Indexing and traffic — Published articles are submitted to our sitemap and typically indexed by Google within days of publication. Referral traffic begins as the article gains organic search visibility over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a licensed attorney to submit?

No. You need to demonstrate genuine knowledge of the topic and write accurately. Legal writers, journalists, mediators, and legal marketing professionals regularly contribute successfully. However, articles that make legal claims must be sourced and accurate regardless of who writes them.

Can my article mention my law firm by name?

Your author bio may include your firm name. The article body should not read as a promotion for your firm. Articles that position a specific firm’s services above the needs of the reader are reworked or rejected.

How long until my article is published?

Most accepted submissions are published within 4-5 business days of final approval. If you have a time-sensitive topic, mention it in your submission email and we will do our best to accommodate.

Can I link to my firm’s website within the article?

One contextual link within the article body is permitted if it genuinely helps the reader. The link must point to a relevant page — a practice area page, a resource, or a relevant article on your site — not your homepage or a contact form.

What happens after my article is published?

The article lives permanently on the site. You own the content and may republish it on your own website after publication here, as long as you include a canonical reference pointing back to the original published URL on this site.

What if my article is rejected?

We will tell you why. If the issue is fixable — a factual error, a structural problem, a length issue — we will invite you to revise and resubmit. If the topic is outside our scope or the content is too promotional, we will be clear about that so you do not spend time on a revision that will not succeed.

Can I submit more than one article?

Yes. Contributors who maintain our editorial standards are welcome to submit multiple articles. There is no formal limit, but we prioritise quality over volume and will not publish more than one article per contributor per calendar month.

Use the subject line: Guest Post Submission — [Your Proposed Article Title]

Include the following in your email:

Your full name and professional title or background
The complete article as a Google Doc (sharing set to “Anyone with the link can view”) or attached as a .docx file
Your author bio (50 words maximum)
The URL(s) you would like linked — one within the article.
Any images you want included (optional)

If you would like to pitch a topic before writing the full article, you are welcome to send a brief topic proposal — two to three sentences describing what you want to write about and why it serves our readers. We will respond with a yes or no within 2 business days.
