What a lot of people don’t know about me is I’ve been divorced three times. Yes, you heard me right three times. The first time I tried to do thedivorce on my own and just go to Court. The man I married had disappeared into thin air. I had to take a ad out in the newspaper asking people if they had seen him.
Talk about embarrassing. Before you ask, we didn’t find him. I ended up having to go to Court and get a Lawyer for the divorce. The second time was from Suzzie’s dad who left me. This was easier as we both wanted the divorce. But there were things I wish I had known when we went because he tried to take Suzzie’s settlement from me and didn’t split the 401K like he said he would.
If this ever happens again which LORD willing it will not since I’m married to David but if it does, I’m prepared thanks to , The Road to Splitsville. Through the book I gained advice and innsight on how to help anyone going through a divorce. I even shared the book with my sister who has been divorced for years to get her insight into the book.
Debbie said if she had known about, The Road to Splitsville she would have been able to get her divorce soon and not gone through everything she had to with Greg. Then Debbie let me know if any of her friends are going to get married, she will make sure they have a copy of ,The Road to Splitsville encase they end up wanting or needing to get a divorce.
With all of my divorces money was a factor in choosing a lawyer and if I had this book back then they addressed these issues in · Selecting an attorney, managing that relationship and limiting the costs. Because we all know Lawyers aren’t cheap.
