Stacey Mendelson's divorce took 4 years. Double the time it should have. Double the expense.After 13 years of marriage, raising a son with autism, and enduring years of emotional abuse, she discovered her husband was cheating. She knew she had to leave. But she also knew divorcing him might be harder than staying.She was right. The abuse escalated. Grenades were hurled at her. She felt like she'd been thrown onto an NFL field without a helmet, getting tackled from every direction.But she refused to give up. She figured out the rules of the game. She developed a strategy. And she won.She walked away with primary parenting time, sole decision-making for her son, and a financial settlement that secured their future.Now Stacey is a high-conflict divorce coach and strategist running a $350K business. She helps women go through high-conflict divorce in half the time and half the money she did. She's taken all her mistakes and turned them into a system that creates winners in and out of family court.Here's what's wild: she doesn't do social media. No strategy calls.
