Bob Butterworth | Chief Executive Officer

“From the very start, this was the vision. This was the goal.”

Bob Butterworth became the founding architect of the online divorce industry when he recognized over two decades ago that a technology-based solution to divorce was not only possible, it could help millions. Since that time, Bob has been the pioneering bricklayer of the industry, enhancing and expanding on modern solutions that have helped nearly a million couples (and counting) divorce without the conflict, cost, and delay inherent in the old approach. Divorce.com is the culmination of Bob’s vision to bring the full spectrum of pre-marriage, divorce, and post-divorce online solutions under one (virtual) roof. Bob is a rabid Seattle Sounders and Manchester City soccer fan, avid street photographer, (obsessed) fly fishing enthusiast, and serious sushi snob.

As our Chief of Divorce Evolution, Laura has opportunities across the United States to share her passion for easing the devastating toll divorce can take on families and children.

“To build the most recognized brand in divorce, we first build trust with our customers.”

Brandon Molina draws on his talent for connecting legal tech, consumer, and e-commerce businesses to advance our goal of modernizing divorce.

As a Director and our Chief Marketing Officer, Brandon helps design the ideal platform for both divorcing people and attorneys. He’s the father of a kid who loves potato bugs and a six-pound MaltiPooChi (50% Maltese, 20% poodle, 30% chihuahua) rescue dog Hewes.
