The Problem

John and his wife were going through a tough divorce. She claimed the $500,000 family house, and he was trying to keep it.

The first and most crucial decision he had to make was whether to save the marriage, regardless of his intentions, so that he could save his home. If he has hope that there’s something worth fighting for and his partner is willing to work on it with him, then by all means, work on it.

What worked

After much soul-searching and hours of conversation, we determined the best way to keep his house was to try to work things out with his wife. They had a lot of equity in the home, and he didn’t want to lose half of it in a divorce. He felt that if they could work on their marriage for a few years, they would have something worth fighting for again. The one thing he did not want to do was fight over assets in court and then pay lawyers\’ fees on top of all that. Things worked out pretty well when John followed our Program and got her wife’s emotional attachment back.

What didn’t work

When it comes to saving John’s family home during a divorce, many things could not work. Begging, borrowing or even stealing money from his spouse were not going to work. John also could not just sit back and hope that the judge would rule in his favour – this is highly unlikely. So what did John do? He got an experienced divorce expert. John knew his marriage was over, but he wanted to save his family’s house so he could remain in it with his wife and kids. He felt that if he lost the house, all his hard work would go with it.
