My name is Adam, and I've lived the nightmare most people never think will happen.
After 28 years of marriage, I found myself in a drawn-out divorce that shattered my family and finances.
What should've been a straightforward process- split the assets, sell the house, move on- turned into a two-year battle in court, all made worse by an ex who hired five different lawyers just to drag things out. I learned hiring many lawyers is one tactic people use in Family Court.
Every step drained my resources, and I quickly realized the legal system wasn't built to care about me or my situation. With every motion and court hearing, it became clear: you can't rely on the courts to show urgency or fairness.
