Section 7 Expenses: The Financial Battlefield Nobody Warns You About

I'll never forget the email. My ex's lawyer sent an itemized list: $3,200 for hockey, $1,800 for orthodontics, $950 for tutoring, $600 for summer camp. My share, calculated to the penny based on our income ratio, was due in 14 days. I stared at it, exhausted and confused. Some of these I knew about. Some I didn't. Was I legally obligated to pay for all of this? Half of this? What happens if I say no to hockey but yes to orthodontics? What if I can't afford my share right now?

CustodyMate: From Chaos To System

Custody Mate isn't about making divorce easier. It's about giving men a system when they're in the worst moment of their lives. It's about breaking the silence around something that affects 35-45% of marriages. It's about showing that you can come through this intact—not by toughing it out alone, but by bringing structure to chaos. I came out okay. My kids came out okay. My ex-wife came out okay. That's what's possible when you stop navigating blind and start navigating with a system.
