World renowned divorce lawyer James Sexton is back to break down divorce from every imaginable angle, and give takeaways that you can implement today regardless of where you are in what he calls divorce’s “six stages”.

You’ll also learn how to protect yourself financially, how to choose the right attorney, and how to stop the need for “revenge” from costing you money.

-What financial documents and information you need to protect yourself
-The biggest mistake people make once they’re in the middle of a divorce
-Why trying to “win” your divorce can destroy your future
-How to set goals for your post-divorce life before emotions take over
-Why you should get a therapist before you get a dating app
-How to rebuild your identity and your life after divorce
-The best way to support someone you love who is going through a divorce
James says “The grief isn't evidence that the marriage failed, it means it mattered.”
