The Best Divorce Advice for Men

Important Update About Answering Divorce Questions

by Chris on July 13, 2010

This is an important update on how we are going to answer specific questions about divorce that are generally sent to us via the contact page. Certain events (that you can read about in this post) have forced us to do things a little differently than we have been. You still get the divorce information that you need, but we also get a chance to continue adding more divorce tips to this website. We apologize in advance if this causes any issues.

First Step to Protecting Your Finances

03.19.2010

You have gone to the trouble of starting a new, private life away from you soon to be ex-wife, and now is the time to start doing the same, but only financially. Some of the steps presented here are just good sound financial advice, while others may be considered as a little sneaky or risky. The key is to keep 100% air-tight financial records that back up everything that you decide to do. But if anything here makes you nervous or if you are not totally confident in your financial records, then you can always opt out of any of these steps. Work on your records. Consult with a divorce attorney. Do whatever it takes to make sure that you are protecting yourself financially from the very beginning of your divorce!

The Basics of Child Custody

03.12.2010

The moment that you know that you are getting a divorce, you need to start thinking about your kids. It will likely be an uphill battle for you when it comes to child custody. And there is no better way to prepare for this than by doing your research and getting all your “ducks in a row” before you sit down with your wife to discuss what to do about custody of the children. Be sure to know what you want from the beginning and stick to your guns throughout the divorce. But remember to be fair, think about what impact that all this is having on your kids, and by all means do whatever it takes to come to an agreement. You do NOT want the judge making all the decisions for you.

Item #3… Legal Separation, Divorce Attorneys & Stress

03.02.2010

You have had time to deal with the idea that you are getting a divorce. Any efforts to save your marriage have failed, and there is nothing more you can do. The time has come to make some big steps towards your divorce. In the item of the divorce checklist we get into marriage separations, specifics about divorce attorneys, and the range of emotions that you will constantly have to deal with from this point forward. If you have been the least bit behind on preparing for your divorce, now is your last chance to gain any ground. You will be busy. You will be stressed. And to top it off you still have to live your day-to-day life. This isn’t going to be easy, but it has to be done if you want any chance of making it through this divorce with your dignity and sanity intact.

Keeping Your Wife From Hiring a Top Divorce Attorney

02.28.2010

This is just a simple little trick that you can use to make it impossible for your wife to even talk to some of the best divorce attorneys in your area, let alone hire them. Depending on the size of the area that you live in this can be a quite effective divorce tactic. But if you live in a major city, this tactic may just be a waste of time and money. If you do your research, you should know beforehand if this will be worth it. Ultimately, its a decision that you will have to make, but lets just hope that she hasn’t already used this on you.

Keep an Eye Out for Our “Divorce Quick Tips”

02.28.2010

These days a lot of people just don’t have the time (or patience) to do all the research that is necessary, even on a topic that is as important as their divorce. For this reason, we have decided to create a whole new category of posts that will only take seconds to skim over. Giving you ample time to move onto the next divorce site on the list. These “Divorce Quick Tips’ could cover just about anything, just in a condensed format. They might be a summary of one of our featured articles or a whole new divorce tactic that has not been mentioned before. Either way these short posts will benefit anyone who comes to our site, so don’t think that these divorce tips will be any less important than anything else on are site. The easiest way to identify a new divorce tip is to look for the exact same picture that is associated with this post. And as always, if you have anything else to add or simply need one of us to elaborate on any of our posts, do not hesitate to contact us.

Keep Your Private Issues Out of Her Hands

02.26.2010

There is no better time than now to start regaining some of that privacy that you lost when you got married. There is certain information that your wife has no business knowing about now that you are getting a divorce. The kind of information that should be kept closed away until it is specifically ask for by the judge. Financial information, correspondence with your divorce attorney, and anything of that sort should be nearly impossible for you wife to get a hold of on her own. It is the kind stuff that would give her a big advantage during your divorce case and you should do everything possible to keep it out of her hands. There are some fairly simple steps that you can take today that will give you a big boost to acheiving the level of privacy that you need. This is not about be sneaky or conniving… It is about being smart!

Important… Divorce and Your Debt!

02.26.2010

There is a lot of crazy, unethical stuff that can happen in a bad marriage and subsequent divorce. And one of those issues could really cost you in the end. This post is about debt, but probably not what you would expect. I had to get this out rather urgently because of an email that I received from a frantic visitor to our site that was in the middle of his divorce. He recently found out that his soon-to-be ex-wife pulled some really shady tricks on him that will not only cost him now, but will hurt his credit for a long time to come. If you are going through a divorce and your significant other is just the least bit unethical, then I ask that you read this story and consider our suggestions.

Item #2… Early Divorce Preparation is a Must!

02.24.2010

The short time period, between finding out that a divorce is inevitable and actually filing for divorce, should be very productive for you. You may still be shell-shocked from realizing that your marriage is over, but that is not a reason to lose a step. It is up to you to prepare for what is to come, and as the man of the divorce you will already be trailing before it actually starts. If it seems that you and your wife are doing the same amount of work on this, then you are definitely not doing enough. Research and planning are essential to getting a head during this period. If you put in the amount of effort that is necessary, then you can create a level playing field by the time your divorce starts to pick up momentum.

Should I Move out of the House Before the Divorce?

02.23.2010

The first and probably most common question that we get from our visitors. At some point during the divorce almost every man expects that they need to move out of the house at some point in time. But honestly, Why does this have to be the case? Do you want to move out and leave your kids behind? Do you want to have to rent an apartment knowing that you will still have to pay for some or all of the mortgage on a house you no longer live in. There are certain repercussions if you choose to move out of your house too early. And yet there is some danger of staying in a home with such hostility in the air. So tell us, given all the information provided, would you still voluntarily move out of your house and leave your children behind?

New Divorce Question & Answer Section

02.22.2010

Sometimes all it takes is an answer to a single question to push someone over a hump. This is particularly true when is comes to men who are preparing for a divorce. In the years that we have been online, we were fortunate to have highly inquisitive and interactive visitors who have supplied us with many questions that deal with real-world issues in the divorce process. The purpose of this new section is to answer simple questions about divorce that could give you the start you need to get going or simply a question that you don’t want to have to pay your divorce attorney’s minimum fee to get answered.

Item #1… Should Your Marriage Be Saved?

02.22.2010

You will know that your marriage is in trouble when thoughts of separating from your wife become more and more common. In fact, you don’t have to go out and hire a divorce attorney, or file a divorce petition with the courts to mark the actual start of your divorce. It begins as soon as you begin to prepare yourself mentally for a future that does not include your wife. This can happen the other way around as well, and may be more likely as women initiate the divorce more than 50% of the time. The real question is are you willing to put forth the effort that is needed to save your marriage… now is the time to decide! From here on out you have two paths to choose from, you can either devote yourself to stopping your divorce or you can begin to prepare yourself for the end of your marriage. We all know it is a difficult time, but now is the time to take action.

The Divorce Checklist has Arrived!

02.15.2010

After a couple years of randomly throwing up posts with advice and tips for men that were going through a divorce, the site became highly unorganized and hard to follow. Our visitors were complaining and they had every right to. Nearly 100 pages on men’s divorce tips and we couldn’t even find a particular post that we had wrote. That was when the site had to come down for a while to make room for the newly developed divorce checklist. Now we have a structure that is easy to navigate, allowing you to find the divorce information that you are looking for.
