Part 2: The Hidden Costs Of Divorce

By the end of the first week, things were looking bad for Jeanette…

Her lawyer had made no real progress on her case… yet she’d already spent the $5,000 she thought it would cost her.

But that was only for the temporary hearing… where things just get started.

She could have walked away then and cut her losses…

But she didn’t know what else to do…

Her Husband had just hired a lawyer, and she was terrified she couldn’t defend herself without one…

So she continued to pay the lawyer for another 6 months.

But six months in… Jeanette was fed up.

She’d been paying her lawyer for 6 months… and had gotten NOWHERE!

She’d sat through 3 temporary hearings, a court settlement conference, and 3 days for a long cause hearing…

And all she had to show for it was an expensive bill from her lawyer for his time…

Every minute of it…

The minutes waiting… the minutes idling around… the travel time… and inefficient time… all billed to Jeanette.

6 months of wasted time and a $25,000 is what Jeanette got from her lawyer.

Physically she was exhausted… mentally she was drained.

There was no end in sight…

In divorce… you rarely ever get what you pay for.

Jeanette couldn’t afford to continue like this… Emotionally and financially she was drained…

I see this happen all the time.

Lawyers getting themselves into standstill positions… leaving no room for compromises…

The result?

Higher bills… months of wasted time… and emotional strain for their clients.

Jeanette was lucky that she found me…

She still had to pay her fees but the one piece of advice I gave her helped her avoid paying another $30,000 in lawyer fees.

I want to share with you that same piece of advice… so that you can avoid losing thousands of dollars to wasted time.
