Talk to Aida – A new way to access guidance about divorce with confidence and privacy

Ending a relationship is hard, but getting the right guidance shouldn’t be. That’s why at the start of Good Divorce Week, Anthony Collins has launched Aida, a free, empathetic online support service designed to help people take their first steps with confidence and privacy.

For many people, reaching out to a solicitor for guidance during a relationship breakdown can feel overwhelming, especially in the early stages. Who should they approach? What information will they need to share? And what about the cost? These barriers can leave people stuck, isolated, uninformed and unhappy. Traditional sources of free tailored information, such as Citizens’ Advice, can be hard to access out of hours and some individuals avoid them altogether to protect their anonymity.

Developed by experienced family lawyers, Aida is a unique, chatbot-style service that provides discreet, judgment-free guidance 24/7. It’s completely free, anonymous and designed to make early-stage support accessible to everyone. All conversations are treated as private and confidential, with data automatically erased after 30 days.

The Talk to Aida service isn’t just smart, it’s compassionate. The service is trained to pick up on signs of specific issues, such as domestic abuse and will guide individuals to relevant support organisations where needed.

Unlike general AI tools such as ChatGPT, Aida draws exclusively on information curated by qualified and experienced family lawyers. This means users can have confidence that the guidance they receive is accurate, reliable and free from misinformation that can sometimes appear in AI systems trained on the open web. Aida combines the convenience of technology with the reassurance of expert knowledge—making it a trusted starting point for anyone considering separation or divorce.

Elizabeth Wyatt, partner and divorce law specialist at Anthony Collins and the creator of Aida, explains:

“We created Aida because everyone deserves access to guidance when life gets tough. Too many people suffer in silence because they fear judgment or cost. Aida changes that—offering a safe, supportive starting point for anyone facing a relationship breakdown.”

While some people will still choose to seek legal advice, particularly in complex cases, Anthony Collins recognises that more individuals are embarking on their legal journey unaided. Aida ensures they have access to good-quality guidance at every stage.

Aida has been developed as part of Anthony Collins’ commitment to social purpose. The family law team believes everyone should have access to professional guidance when considering separation or divorce, helping them navigate the challenges ahead with confidence and dignity.
