Immediately after my wife left me, she cleaned out the bank account (almost $40,000.) She used the cash to buy jewelry, and also got a lawyer (who sued me.)
Unfortunately I lost the case, and The County of Santa Clara forced me to pay $3,500 a month to my wife in alimony and child support. This comes after I had lost my job 2 months earlier, and had no good job prospects.
She then proceeded to kidnap my daughter, and moved to Germany. It took me 4 months and about $50,000 (which I’m still paying back), along with 5 lawyers, the State Department, and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children to get her back.
Since then, she has made my life a living hell both socially and financially.

I tell you this short story to highlight the serious consequences of a divorce.
Now, I’m not saying every divorce ends like this, but with 40 to 50% of all American marriages terminating, there’s a potential possibility it could happen to you.
And if this is something that scares you, then read on.
In today’s episode, you’ll discover how to avoid the trauma that happens with a divorce. I also reveal the three stages every single marriage goes through.
The majority of society know about Stage 1 and Stage 2 (but are blissfully unaware of Stage 3.) And Stage 3 is the one you need to know if your marriage is on the brink of a rocky divorce.
