Divorce Advice For Men – Part 1


Okay, it’s time for some honesty here – divorce is a battle,  a war, a struggle for survival.  It shouldn’t be that way but it sure is.  You enter your marriage full of love and hope for the future, but somewhere along the way, those good feelings turn to despair, bitterness and even hatred.

More than 2.2 million marriages take place in the United State each year and close to 50% of them will end in divorce.  With those kinds of odds, it’s no wonder that the divorce industry rakes in several billions of dollars per year.

What is often surprising to men however, is the extent to which the divorce “machine” is biased against them.  They may enter into the process expecting a fair shake, but soon learn that the deck is stacked against them.  That’s why this site exists – to provide solid, tested Divorce Advice For Men.

I’ve been through my own divorce and I made a ton of mistakes.  Those mistakes not only cost me serious money, they cost me time with my children and that is the biggest loss of all.

Since that time, I’ve made it my passion to help other men successfully navigate their way through their divorces.  Working with these men has helped me learn the do’s and don’ts of divorce for men.

Here are several tried and true pieces of divorce advice for men:

  • Prepare for your divorce early – Divorce is rarely a surprise.  Statistically, women file for divorce in the vast majority of cases, but that doesn’t mean the divorce is a surprise for the man.  Men usually see it coming – it’s just the woman that pulls the trigger.  By honestly recognizing that divorce is a real possibility, you can take steps to put yourself in a much better position for the divorce.
  • Check out the country’s #1 mens divorce guide here. You will find a ton of really helpful advice in this guide.
  • Develop your own personal divorce support group – The worst thing a divorcing man can do is to isolate himself from friends and family.  Unfortunately, that is exactly what happens far too often.  It’s only natural to have feelings of loss and failure when going through a divorce or separation, but this is the time when you need to stay connected with your friends and family the most.  You need their love and support to keep your self esteem high and to prevent you from making poor decisions during this time of vulnerability.
