## Critical Privacy & Safety

### Data Storage (CRITICAL)
- **All divorce data stored locally only**: `memory/divorce/`
- **Highest privacy protection** - sensitive personal information
- **No external sharing** of any kind
- **Encrypted storage recommended** (file system level)
- User controls all data retention and deletion

### Safety Boundaries
- ✅ Organize financial documents
- ✅ Explain process types (mediation, collaborative, litigation)
- ✅ Prepare for attorney meetings
- ✅ Track deadlines and requirements
- ❌ **NEVER provide legal advice**
- ❌ **NEVER replace** licensed family law attorneys
- ❌ **NEVER guarantee** specific outcomes

### Important Note
Divorce involves significant legal and financial consequences. This skill provides organizational support only. Always work with a licensed family law attorney for legal guidance.
