Jim Siemens
DIVORCE COURSE INSTRUCTOR
I am a Board Certified Family Law Specialist in North Carolina. For over 30 years, I have guided hundreds of people through divorces involving complicated finances, business valuations, and contested custody situations.
I know what works in divorce proceedings, and more importantly, I know the preparation work that positions you for better outcomes before the legal process even begins.
But I'm not just a lawyer. I'm a coach who believes that the life challenge of divorce presents an opportunity for personal growth. With the right mindset, you can come through this transition with clarity and a renewed sense of purpose and well-being.
This course gives you the same strategic preparation I provide to my clients for a fraction of the cost.
Dorothy Irwin
DIVORCE COURSE INSTRUCTOR
I have worked alongside Jim for over a decade, helping clients navigate the divorce process from start to finish. I have seen hundreds of cases unfold and know the common pitfalls people experience in divorce, as well as what helps them move through the process more smoothly.
I work directly with clients on the day-to-day realities of divorce. The document gathering, the court preparation, the questions that come up when you're trying to fill out financial forms, and everything in between. I've seen what happens when people prepare thoughtfully and what happens when they don't.
In several of the course modules, I share what I've learned from being in the trenches of this work and the practical insights that come from walking hundreds of people through one of the hardest transitions of their lives.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Course
-
No. This course provides educational guidance on divorce preparation. Laws vary from state to state, and you'll still need to work with a qualified attorney in your area for legal advice specific to your situation. This course provides you with a strong foundation before you start legal consultations, so you get more value from your attorney's time.
-
Yes. While we practice in North Carolina, the strategic preparation steps apply everywhere: documenting finances, protecting your privacy, taking care of your health, and planning logistically. You'll still need local legal counsel, but this course ensures you're prepared when you meet with them and have the well-rounded tools to get more out of the divorce process.
-
Your purchase and access are completely private on our end. However, we recommend using a personal device, a credit card, and an email address that your spouse doesn't have access to for extra security.
-
You’ll have lifetime access to this course so you can watch the modules as many times as you need. We know the divorce process can range in length depending on your specific situation, and we don’t want you to feel any added pressure as you work through the material. These tools are here for you whenever you need them.
-
Absolutely. This course helps you maximize the value of that relationship by making sure you're gathering the right information and asking the right questions. This course also provides you with additional coaching and resources that might not be covered or provided by your attorney. We discuss topics like self-care, discerning whether the marriage should end, and how to break the news, plus we give you book recommendations, additional downloads, and guided meditations that go beyond what you would get with a traditional legal team.
-
This might be the best time to go through this material. If you're in the discernment phase, trying to figure out whether divorce is the right choice, several of these modules speak directly to where you are right now. The module on discerning whether your marriage should end walks through that decision-making process thoughtfully. And if you do decide divorce is the right path, you'll already know the preparation steps to take before you share that decision with anyone else. There's no downside to being informed, even if you ultimately choose to stay in your marriage.
