Are you trying to be fair in your divorce ... or quietly setting yourself up to lose?
You want to do the right thing.
But you’re worried that staying calm, avoiding conflict, or trusting too easily could cost you — financially, emotionally, or with your kids.
The Strategic Divorce Guide gives you a clear, thoughtful way through divorce — without fighting, without giving everything away, and without losing yourself in the process.
The Strategic Divorce Guide:
How To Protect Yourself Without Losing Yourself
Immediate Access | Downloadable PDF
This Guide is for you IF:
- You’re thinking about divorce or navigating the early stages of the process
- You’re overwhelmed by conflicting advice and opinions
- You have a life, future, or family you want to protect.
- You want a smart, strategic divorce - not a public, scorched-earth mess
- You don’t want to outsource your life decisions entirely to lawyers
- You value integrity and fairness, but refuse to be naïve about money or leverage
In short: you want to make thoughtful decisions now — so you don’t pay for avoidable mistakes later.
This guide is not about winning at all costs.
It’s about making clear, strategic decisions you can live with — legally, financially, and emotionally.
If that’s how you want to approach your divorce, you’re in the right place.
The Problem With How Most People Divorce
Most people approach divorce in one of two ways.
They go to war.
They fight over everything. They argue about every detail. They spend a fortune on legal fees, burn through relationships, and live in a constant state of stress and vigilance. Sometimes they “win” on paper — but they walk away emotionally exhausted, financially drained, and disconnected from the life they actually wanted to protect. (And that says nothing about the damage they do to their kids!)
Or they give away too much.
They stay quiet. They avoid conflict. They trust too easily and make decisions from fear, guilt, or a desire just to keep the peace. Months or years later, they realize they sacrificed far more than they should have — financially, emotionally, or in their relationship with their kids.
Neither approach works well.
Both approaches are driven by emotions, not clarity.
Both approaches create regret, just in different forms.
What’s missing is strategy with humanity.
There IS a way to move through divorce thoughtfully — without turning it into a battlefield, and without disappearing yourself in the process.
There's a Smarter Way To Divorce
Divorce isn't just a legal process.
It’s a decision-making process - happening under extreme emotional pressure.
That’s why so many smart, capable people struggle during divorce. It's not that they're not smart. It's just that they’re being asked to make complex, high-stakes decisions at the exact moment their nervous system is overloaded.
You don’t need to become aggressive.
You don’t need to become passive.
You need to become intentional.
That’s what strategy actually is.
Strategy doesn’t mean attacking your spouse, hiding information or money, or playing games.
It means understanding what's really going on, knowing what matters most to you, and making choices that align with your values and protect your future.
Strategy gives you a way to stay calm, grounded, and clear - even when emotions are high and the situation feels uncertain.

This guide is designed to help you move out of reaction mode and into thoughtful action.

This Isn't a Legal Manual ... And That’s the Point
This guide doesn’t replace a lawyer.
It makes you a better client.
It doesn’t tell you what you should do.
It helps you decide what’s right for you to do.
It doesn’t push you toward fighting — or surrendering.
It shows you how to stay strategic without abandoning your values.
Most divorce resources focus on only one piece of the puzzle.
This guide doesn’t.
It sits at the intersection of:
- law
- finance
- psychology
- communication
- and real-life decision-making
That’s why it works ... and why it will give you clarity you didn’t even realize you were missing.
Why I Created This Guide
I’m Karen Covy — a divorce coach, mediator, lawyer, and author.
For decades, I've watched smart, capable people make devastating decisions during divorce - not because they weren’t intelligent, but because they didn't know any better. They were overwhelmed, emotional, and trying to do the “right” thing without having a framework to guide them.
I created this guide to give you what most people never get:
- context
- structure
- clarity
And a way forward that doesn’t cost you your integrity - or your future.
Here's What You'll Get in the Strategic Divorce Guide:

You'll know what decisions are coming, what actually matters, and what doesn’t before your emotions or other people's opinions take over.
A framework for making smart decisions under pressure
Instead of reacting in the moment, you’ll learn how to slow things down, evaluate your options, and choose intentionally.

A strategy-focused approach to your divorce

Absolutely!
Even though DIVORCE LAW varies from state to state, THE WAY DIVORCE WORKS is pretty much the same in all states.
Divorce involves emotions, finances, kids and more. That’s true no matter what state you live in. It also involves negotiation, planning, and strategy. The Strategic Divorce Guide will help you understand how to deal with all those areas of your divorce. What it WON'T do is tell you the law in your state. You'll have to consult with a lawyer for that.
Great question! I totally get it.
That's why all you will see on your credit card is “Karen’s Programs.” The words "divorce," "divorce lawyer," "divorce coach," or even my full name "Karen Covy," will NOT show up on your credit card.
If you want to be extra careful you can always use a prepaid debit card , Google Pay, or Link to make your payment. OR you can have a friend pay for you on THEIR credit card, and then you pay your friend back!
This Guide is designed to SAVE you time. Instead of scouring the internet asking questions and HOPING you find the right information or that your AI tool of choice doesn't hallucinate, you'll have everything you need, right at your fingertips.
Maybe, but I can't guarantee that.
Some of the information in this Guide (like the emotional stuff and the communication scripts and strategies) will help you no matter where you live. However, the money and kids portions of this Guide are specifically designed for U.S. residents.
