Divorce Advice Specialists

My wife and I are Divorce Advice Specialists. We’re not attorneys.

Divorce can be compared to traveling a dark unknown path with pitfalls and dangers at every turn. Years ago, I went through a horrible divorce that shattered my family and finances. I’ve learned a lot since then. This site exists so that doesn’t happen to you.

My wife and I are people of faith, and we care deeply about others. We care about you. We know first-hand the pain and destruction that divorce can inflict on families. But we also know that many people find themselves in this difficult position regardless of their belief system or efforts to save their marriage.

We started this ministry in 2008. And we’ve been helping families around the world ever since. We know the concerns that people heading into a divorce have. They’re concerned about the cost. Divorce is expensive. How they will make it on one income if they were living on two? Can they afford to keep the house? There’s usually a good deal of conflict because of hurt, anger or lack of trust. How are they going to work through a divorce if they can barely communicate now? They’re concerned about their children and how this will affect them. They’re concerned about protecting their assets and ending up with a fair and equitable settlement. They may be concerned about their spouse hiring a cut-throat attorney to attack and discredit them (especially if they have children). How do they find the right attorney? One they can trust to represent them well, but not cause unnecessary conflict?

All of this leads to feeling apprehensive, overwhelmed, threatened and uncertain. We educate you so that you can be prepared, confident and empowered with a plan for what lies ahead. And how to avoid fatal mistakes that could adversely affect your relationships and your settlement. And for those of you with minor children, your settlement includes child support and your parenting rights and schedule.

We’ve discovered the common factors of a low conflict, low-cost divorce that resulted in an equitable settlement of assets and shared parenting plan. As well as the common denominators in a high conflict, high-cost divorce where one spouse was crushed by the other and often alienated from their children. There’s a lot at stake. And we’re here to help.

Our mission is to help families stay connected to whatever degree that’s possible, despite the difficult challenges that divorce brings.

The resources on this site are relevant and helpful to anyone during a divorce. But especially helpful to those with a difficult spouse. We’ve helped thousands of families around the world to navigate through difficult divorces.

We specialize in helping people to protect themselves, their children, and assets.
While minimizing the cost, conflict, and damage in a divorce with a difficult spouse.

Divorce is hard.
A high conflict divorce is worse.
A divorce that includes Parental Alienation is brutal.

Parental Alienation is a clinical term describing one parent turning their child against the other.

Unfortunately, the description you’ve just read is a very common pattern of escalation in a divorce involving children. You may start out in what seems to be a typical divorce, but unless you know how to identify and safeguard yourself from alienation tactics, they can easily become a part of your divorce.

After many years, we’ve found the most effective way to help families is to reach them early in the divorce process, before PA tactics are used. So, we’ve split this site into 2 different sections. You can choose the section that best addresses your personal concerns and current situation.

The first section deals with how to avoid (or navigate) a High Conflict Divorce.
The second section deals with Parental Alienation. Unless you know how to protect yourself, one often leads to the other. If you have children you will likely find value in both sections.
