Ask The Divorce Guy!

Ok, now this is rich. Dealing with neophite attorneys who enter the field of matrimonial law thinking they can cut their teeth while ruining peoples lives is not enough to deal with, now we have to contend with tThe Divorce Guy. Who is the divorce guy ? According to his website: Ask The Divorce Guy

He is not a divorce attorney, expert or professional of any kind. He has not received any training in regards to divorce other than he has experienced a divorce himself. Asking him a question is like asking a friend a question.

This guys biggest claim to fame is that he  has talked to thousands of people contemplating divorce, going through divorce, or the chaos afterwards and gives referrals, support, and friendly advice. He resides in Nevada, the state with the highest divorce rate in the US.

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! Now I know anyone can write a blog and give advice and it is actually very responsible of this guy to let everyone know he has no knowledge of anything other than his own experience and the fact that he lives in Nevada, (which I haven't yet checked to see if his claim of it having the hightest divorce rate in the US is indeed accurate).
 
What is it that this guy dispenses? Common sense. He directs individuals to websites and books that can help them but he really is walking the tightrope in trying not to dispense legal advice which we all know is illegal for anyone who is not a licensed legal practicionner to do.
 
Why is this guy popular? He is free and he is easily accessible on the internet. Just be careful, most attorneys will dispense free legal advice during a consultation. It might be worth your while to get up from behind the computer and seek one out.


PS...I checked it out as of March 2009 Nevada did indeed have the highest divorce rate in the country....
