Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Joseph Cordell’s latest column on HuffingtonPost.com explains why the moment you say "I do" you are essentially giving your spouse half of your wealth.

Not just your current wealth and what you bring into the marriage, but nearly every asset acquired during the course of the marriage -- and sometimes after.

Cordell, the principal partner of Cordell & Cordell and founder of DadsDivorce.com, thinks every guy should realize the enormity and importance of saying, “I do.” It’s a contract that Cordell thinks guys do not appreciate the extent and comprehensiveness of.

A feisty, "take no prisoners" divorce lawyer will walk all over Mr. Nice Guy in a courtroom, right?

According to DadsDivorce.com founder Joseph Cordell, it doesn't matter if you have an attorney with the demeanor of a pit bull or not; it matters if you have a competent attorney who cares about your case.

Guys seem to think their attorney needs to adopt the "pit bull persona" in order to be successful in a divorce and child custody case, Cordell writes for HuffingtonPost.com.

The Huffington Post Divorce section asked Joseph Cordell to pen a column about one of "The 10 Stupidest Mistakes Men Make When Facing Divorce," the concept behind Cordell's latest divorce book.

Cordell, the principal partner of Cordell & Cordell and founder of DadsDivorce.com, highlighted one of the more destructive and avoidable mistakes guys make: failing to fully engage in your case. 

One of the ways dads can hurt themselves by taking a casual attitude toward their case is when it comes to dealing with financial issues.

As a trusted voice in the divorce landscape, Cordell & Cordell co-founder Joseph Cordell was once again called on by Sporting News Radio to dissect the potential divorce settlement between Los Angeles Dodgers owners Frank and Jamie McCourt - and the possible ramifications it could bring to one of Major League Baseball's most storied franchises.

Various news agencies have reported that Frank and Jamie reached what could turn out to be the costliest divorce settlement in the history of California; Frank would regain control of the Dodgers while Jamie would walk away with more than $130 million.

Congratulations to all you divorced dads!

No matter how difficult or smooth your travels were through divorce court litigation, it’s always nice to breathe a sigh of relief once you have the court-certified copy of your decree in hand and your last attorney bill has been paid.

You may have won some battles, you may have lost some battles, but at least the first part of your divorce is over.

That’s right. Just the first part of divorce has concluded.

The reality is that divorced dads and their ex-wives now have an invisible umbilical cord tying them together the rest of their lives.
