Overview
Divorce is hard. Preparing for one doesn’t have to be.
From divorce prep coach Alex Beattie, featured on The Oprah Podcast and The New York Times.
You know divorce is coming, or it’s already here, and you don’t know where to start. Documents to find, accounts to untangle, a spouse you can’t talk to, kids to protect, a legal team to choose. Most people figure it out as they go, paying someone by the hour to do it, and make lasting decisions without knowing what they’ll want or need after divorce.
When Alex went through her own divorce, she walked into attorney and mediator consultations so organized that she kept hearing, “I wish all my clients came in this prepared!" Drawing on that experience and thousands of hours working with clients, she built The Divorce Planner, an eight-week system around four pillars of divorce preparation: emotional, financial, administrative, and practical. Each week combines focused reading with concrete action items, so you finish each week ready for the next.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Separate the emotional side of divorce from the business side
- Find your Divorce North Star, the goal behind every financial, legal, and parenting decision
- Know what you own, what you owe, and what it’s worth, then plan a post-divorce budget with CDFA-vetted tools
- Handle hard conversations, high-conflict spouses, and “The Talk”
- Use the 5-5-5 Rule to make sound decisions under pressure
- Build a parenting plan with real client examples and enforceable provisions
- Show up attorney-ready, so you pay for strategy, not paperwork
Written for anyone considering or navigating divorce, including those facing a high-conflict spouse, stay-at-home parents returning to the workforce, and anyone divorcing later in life. Alex’s approach is recommended by divorce attorneys, mediators, CDFAs, and therapists.
By week eight, you walk into every consultation, mediation, and negotiation knowing what you have, what you want, and what you’re building toward.
