Men are at a disadvantage in divorce court. The disadvantage is cultural on one side, but on the other, women file for divorce twice as often as men. Women take the initiative and that is important, her divorce lawyer wants to keep you off balance and so under control. As in a battle or a war the initial slap back can demoralize the other side — but it doesn’t have to. The U.S. didn’t roll over after initial defeats in World War II but rather it fought back with resolve and intelligent action and won.

So if you have been presented with divorce you too must fight back with resolve and intelligent action. Failing to do so, failing to begin with an intelligent response quickly can cost you dearly. If you don’t understand the divorce process, you must learn. Even if you have the best lawyer in town, you must learn the process yourself. No one has more interest in the outcome of your divorce than you. You must learn to be able to manage your case and work effectively with your attorney.

Point one:Respond to this initial slap with intelligent action. This doesn’t mean that you attack right away. In World War II the U.S. went into a defensive posture right away while it mustered it’s forces, gained understanding of what was happening, and made intelligent plans. In your case do the same thing. Protect your finances, legal position, and possessions. Understand what is going on and why the divorce is happening. Begin to draw up your battle plan to win the divorce, to win the things that you need for your new life on the other side of the divorce.

Point two: As desperate as things might seem, keep a positive outlook. See yourself winning this divorce by keeping the things that matter to you and by avoiding possibly paying tens of thousands of extra dollars because you are making intelligent plans. There is no room to feel depressed, or feel sympathy for her, you must think of yourself and act on your own behalf because this is what she will be doing – that and making plans to take whatever she can away from the marriage regardless of how that may leave you. So keep the positive vision, look at the outcome that you want, look to your own needs and goals for the divorce.

Point three: World War II was won by managing the situation and considering the best tactics. Learn everything you can about the divorce process. This doesn’t mean that you don’t hire a lawyer but as stated previously, it means that you are the person most affected and who cares most about your divorce. This is why you must stay on top of it. Divorce can be won by superior management, tactics, and information.

Develop a winning strategy to win your divorce, a strategy to get back in balance and gain the inititive..
