Become a Member Today!

As this is our inaugural year, we are offering Founding Members (2026 Enrollees) the opportunity to join ALPGA for life-time membership at $50.00 per person, per year. We are a non-profit organization with our own purchasing group. Membership fees are used for the association’s operations, administration and marketing to the legal and divorce profession community.

We anticipate a large volume of inquiries at InsuredSupport.com by prospective clients that are not currently affiliated with an ALPGA member, as we are a new organization. There will be a high demand for people seeking to insure child and spousal support who must align themselves with an ALPGA Member in order to qualify for a Certificate of Insurance under the ALPGA Master Policy. The greater our membership base, the better we will be able to serve the families of divorce seeking to insure their financial stability.

ALPGA members will receive potentially thousands of new client referrals from ALPGA. As we build our member base, any practice can facilitate a new referral anywhere in their state, as there is no requirement to meet with the new client face-to-face. All the legal work required can be done electronically by an ALPGA Member, charging reasonable and customary fees for such services.

Looking at all the possible insurance claims that could be associated with a marital settlement agreement (life, disability, involuntary unemployment), our CLIPMSA involuntary unemployment insurance offering will by far have the greatest claims frequency. To maintain insurance company underwriting commitments it will be our duty to ensure a high flow of insurance premium volume under the CLIPMSA Program to assure it is financially viable for the insurance company. This is the reason we offer CLIPMSA to the public, and not just to clients of our Members, with the caveat the public must work with an ALPGA Member to qualify. This is good for the financial stability of the program and a significant benefit to your practice to take on new, low-effort, fee-producing clients.

The rule for CLIPMSA coverage qualification is that one of the parties must be working with an ALPGA Member to qualify for the insurance. There are many divorce professional specialties that are not lawyer related: family counselors, CPAs, financial planners, emotional and spiritual counselors, child counselors, and mediators. Any of these divorce-associated professions can apply for ALPGA Membership because often some aspect of the counselling involves financial stability and payment of child support. It is a significant benefit to these practices to make CLIPMSA available to their clients. In this case the client can use their current attorney to complete the marital settlement agreement CLIPMSA Addendum. If the client does not currently have an attorney, the client can be referred to an ALPGA Member attorney in the same state.

An ALPGA Membership is a valuable resource and tool for divorce professionals to use within their practice and be a step above competitive services in their area with more to offer prospective clients.

As this is our foundational year, the Directory is a work in progress. As each Member joins, we will add them to our national directory for members of the public looking to align themselves with an ALPGA member to qualify for the CLIPMSA insurance program. Once there is at least one Member in each state, we will make the Directory available online at InsuredSupport.com. Until such time, we will make the referral to the applicant. Being a Founding Member and first on the National Directory for your state is very beneficial if you would like to build your practice, as all of the legal work necessary can be done electronically as long as the applicant and the attorney are in the same state.

The primary focus of ALPGA is to financially stabilize as many families in America as possible to deal with the decades-old problem of non-payment of support and the social and financial impact it has in so many areas of our society. We need the support and participation of the family law and divorce professional community to make this possible. The more benefits we can provide to encourage membership in ALPGA, the more success we will have in our mission. Therefore, E&O insurance, cyber security, and financial services are currently available to encourage membership.

Yes, we encourage such membership. ALPGA will be offering seminars, webinars, and continuing education classes soon which will be beneficial to bar associations and government agencies.
