What's this site about?
It's about Divorce, It's about Custody, It's about family and most importantly information about those issues.
I started this site after going through a bitter divorce and painful custody battle. I watched several friends go through the same shortly after. They called me constantly with questions about my experience, what they could expect and advice on what to do next. I realized they were just like I was; searching for information on how to survive what was happening to them.
I learned the more information I had the less the anxiety I suffered. I am not an attorney and my experience was in California but I felt putting together some valuable information, some of my experiences and the experience of others to help you as you start down this "rocky road" would be a good thing.
In fact I have put together exactly what I was looking for when I was going through the same as you but I couldn't find it all in one place. Instead of spending countless hours searching different sites I hope you can find most of what you need here.
If there is something you cant find here please use the "contact me" form to let me know what it is so I can try to get it out here. Thanks again for coming to our site (that's "yours and mine") and good luck in your journey ahead.
NOTE: This site is constantly being updated. You may find some links are not working yet, these will be fixed within the next 30 days.

of the toughest journeys of your life. If you have children
then the pain and damage is more than you or your wife has the
right to put them through. You may be thinking there's no way
you can save your marriage but you may be wrong. I have seen
couples tha...
The number one victim (and I do mean victim) of divorce is
children. They suffer both emotionally and socially. First
their home life is split, they spend time with both sides of
the family but never again together. On Christmas or any
other holiday instead of seeing all their family together
they usually...
There are a lot of things you need to put in order before
you start. If your really going to go through with the
divorce then you should make a list and evaluate it and what
your "ready to do". What I mean is this; are you emotionally
ready for a fight? Are you financially ...
Family Law Centers are a fantastic resource and available
in most area's. Many have a large amount of the services you
will need for free or a very low price. They have (usually)
trained personal who can guide you in the right direction to
start your process. Such as what forms you will need. Where
to file. How to file, etc...
Ok
now that we have established you don't know what your doing
lets move on. Don't feel bad; no one knows what their doing
when it comes to Family Law other than the legal professionals
in the system (and I have run across many that didn't seem like
they knew much either!)...
