About us

Life is change. Divorce happens.

As humans, we’re born to change. Evolve. Grow. Transform. For about half of married people, change includes divorce. We move forward. Our paths diverge.

This can be scary, lonely, and stressful in so many ways — from our kids to our jobs, our families to our finances. Friends want to help but don’t get it. Attorneys charge hourly for it. So two people who found joy on the other side of divorce had an idea: let’s help people through this change.

Let’s provide trusted information to make it less scary, useful tools to make it less stressful, and community to make it less lonely. And let’s offer validation, because we could all use more of that.

Together, we can make sense of the chaos, allow ourselves to grieve for what we leave behind, and give ourselves permission to celebrate all the moments that still need celebrating.

Divorce is change and change is natural. So let’s help each other. Because we only live once. And there’s a world of possibility, love, and happiness ahead.

Nate Zorich

Founder / Chief Executive Officer

CDC Certified Divorce Coach® · Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS™)

Nate knows firsthand that it is possible to move from feeling powerless during divorce to an empowered future you can live true to. With a background in business, e-commerce, and entrepreneurship, he began to envision Avail in 2017.

After the highs and lows of his own divorce, he wanted something to guide, empower, and connect the more than 1.5 million Americans who go through divorce every year. He has coached friends, and friends of friends, and shares a network of experts with members to save time, money, drama, and heartache.

Nate completed his MBA after graduating from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where he played college hockey. When he isn’t with the Avail community, he is picking his guitar, playing ice hockey, sampling Colorado craft brews, and co-parenting his two kids.
