MY EXPERIENCE. YOUR ADVANTAGE.
Hi, I’m Alvie. And if you’re here, I already know you’re carrying more than most people will ever understand.
I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, exhausted, lost and afraid. I know how desperately you want to protect your children. And I know the kind of courage it takes to keep going when you feel like you have nothing left.
I’m a single mom of three young adults now. But when my own family court journey began, they were just babies. What I thought would be a short chapter stretched into 12 years — four custody battles, five trials, dozens of hearings, and over $130,000 in legal fees. One of those battles I lost.
I spent over a decade trying to protect my children inside a system I didn’t understand. One that felt cold, chaotic, and designed for everyone but the people actually living through it.
At the same time, I was rebuilding professionally — spending nearly two decades in corporate communications, leading high-stakes work for Fortune 500 clients. What I learned in those boardrooms quietly sharpened everything I would eventually bring into the courtroom.
There were nights I questioned my strength. There were days I was terrified of losing everything. Moments when no one around me could possibly understand what I was carrying.
But God understood.
I made Him a promise: If You carry me through this, I will help others find their way to the finish line with grace and dignity.
That promise is why I built Divody® Group. That promise is why I speak. That promise is why I write.
I’ve had enough hard-earned personal experiences that have walked me through — maybe even dragged me through — resilience, reinvention, restoration and redemption to talk about it. And I have a lot to say.
My debut book, I Do, Solemnly Swear, was written for the person I was when I needed it most and couldn’t find it anywhere. Everything I teach, every checklist, strategy, and hard-won insight, is rooted in lived courtroom experience. Not AI, guesswork, or theory. But, real wisdom from surviving the family court system as a petitioner, defendant, and pro se litigant.
I believe restoration is possible. I believe you can come out of this stronger than you went in. And I believe no one should have to navigate this alone.
That’s not clickbait. That’s why I show up every single day.
Real clients.
Real stories.
Real strength.
Real outcomes.

Down to earth and empathetic
“My session with Alvie gave me another perspective on my situation and invited God into the situation in a way I really appreciated. Alvie was down to earth and empathetic. I felt truly heard and encouraged using mainly the truth of God’s word. She was very knowledgeable and able to give good insight based upon her experiences.”

I felt understood
“My experience with Alvie made me feel extremely comfortable. She was able to put all my questions into one answer which was very relieving. I really appreciate the resources she provided to me during my custody situation. I literally felt like she understood me and was patient during our session. I plan to have another one with her.”
Courtney W., Mother of two
“She is very personable and down to earth, and provided wisdom, not just about the custody battle itself, but about how to maintain your sanity, and eventually heal from this.”

Witness stand prep
“Alvie was compassionate, experienced and helped me have a clearer perspective on my court hearings and situation. She also was clear about her knowledge from experience and not just saying what I want to hear, but gracefully telling me the reality of the court systems. Her own experience in how to conduct myself behind the stand was extremely helpful because I have gone through it and felt so pressured to answer in a certain way.”
