What Is the Certified Divorce
Lending Professional (CDLP®)
Certification?
CDLP®: Redefining the Role of the Mortgage Professional
The Certified Divorce Lending Professional® (CDLP®) certification is changing how mortgage
professionals serve clients—shifting from a transactional role to a strategic, consultative position within
the divorce process.
Developed by the Divorce Lending Association and backed by over 35 years of expertise, this program
equips you to confidently navigate the intersection of divorce, real estate, and mortgage planning.
CDLP® professionals are trained to work alongside family law professionals, offering tailored solutions
that support fair settlements and long-term stability.
Whether you choose a traditional commission-based model or a hybrid platform with fee-based
consulting, CDLP® gives you the tools, training, and positioning to stand out as a trusted financial
neutral in one of the most complex financial spaces today.
“Becoming a CDLP® isn’t just about building
a pipeline; it’s about building a profession. It’s
about using your expertise to make a real
difference in someone’s life during one of their
most challenging times. This certification
empowers you to go beyond transactions and
create solutions that truly matter."
