Not sure what to do with the house in your divorce
The Divorce Collab helps Chicago-area homeowners understand whether selling, keeping, refinancing, or buying out the marital home actually makes sense.

Divorce requires the right team. We connect clients with trusted professionals, including attorneys, mediators, CDFAs, CDLPs, divorce coaches, therapists, lenders, and financial specialists.

We host practical conversations and resources for homeowners and divorce professionals who want smarter, calmer decisions around the marital home.
What I Help With

- Keeping the home after divorce
- Equity buyouts
- Market value

- Timing and logistics
- Preparing for refinancing conversations
- Questions to ask your attorney, CDFA, CDLP, lender, or tax professional
What I Do No Do
- I do not give legal, tax, mortgage, financial planning, or therapy advice.
- Instead, I help you understand where the real estate questions fit and connect you with the right professional when the question belongs to someone else.
Our Mission
The Divorce Collab exists to help divorcing homeowners slow down, understand the real estate facts, and make informed decisions about the marital home.
Megan Sullivan is a Chicago REALTOR®, RCS-D™, and neutral divorce real estate resource. She does not replace your attorney, financial advisor, lender, therapist, or divorce coach.
