Filing Your Divorce Without An Attorney
SAVE TIME, MONEY, AND TONS OF FRUSTRATION WITH THIS LITTLE KNOWN SIMPLE STEP BY STEP PROCESS TO SUCCESSFULLY FILE YOUR OWN DIVORCE
The Start Of It All
On my way to to creating the premium law firm in the Kansas City Northland, I started looking for coaches to help me find the right strategies to upgrade my law firm. Sitting at my kitchen table one Saturday morning, I saw this guy who looked so much like my son (who was off at college and I was missing terribly)... so I stopped to watch him talking about funnels. This is when I started learning about how I could create content for my clients, create my own webpages, and only use my time once to help provide my clients with a better experience and it could be be viewed on demand so they could have step by step coaching through the family law process. That is when I completely changed my outlook on how I would show up for my clients to provide better results, less stress through the process, and finally find the solution to charging them hourly for the basics they should get for free. I said good-bye to traditional representation and created Delightful Divorce and Peaceful Parenting.
Know the best part? I didn't have to feel like the Wicked Witch anymore when people called the law firm and couldn't afford my services. Instead, I get to be more like Glenda The Good Witch and use online coaching so people get the help they need to DIY their own divorce and file without an attorney. My DIY Divorce Secrets allowed me to use my legal expertise and give my community the solution for people who could not afford an attorney get the help they deserved!
Along the way I learned so much more...

The Full Story
Chapter 1: Early Life
Want to know something about me most people don't?
I am adopted! At 4 days old, my Dad got the call and to hunt my Mom down... turns out she was out buying a new pair of shoes. They were super excited! Being adopted, it is important to fit in with your family. So, I actually became an attorney to fulfill my paternal grandfather's dream of someone following in his footsteps. You can't fit in any better than doing something nobody else in the family would do.
My parents are the two sides of the coin of the American dream- one a President of a Steel Company and the other a business owner. My Dad worked for Steel and Pipe Supply in Manhattan, KS (home of K-State Wildcats) and took that company from nothing to having multiple warehouses in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. My Mom had a successful real estate company.
Our family is like many families out there- blended. My Mom had my two brothers, Dan (AKA- "Golden Child") and Dick (AKA- "The Handful"). I am next and then my parents also adopted my sister Carla (AKA- "Spider" and "Miss Independent").
As a kid, I was always a leader... mainly in church. In High School I was on the District Committee to plan and help run District Youth Events and then on the Conference Committee as well. I was an active member of my own Youth Group, played tennis and debated on the high school team.
I finally fulfilled my childhood dream of being an attorney when I attended the University of Tulsa School of Law..
In a world full of blonds, I stand out as unique!
(yep, that is me on the bottom right)
My Grandpa's scales and gavel- he was a Judge
Chapter 2: Early Carreer
In law school, I met my first husband. We almost couldn't take the bar exam due to crazy floods. In fact, we had to take back roads from Jefferson City to Kansas City to get on a plane to head to Oklahoma City to take that bar exam... but we made it and passed both the Missouri and Oklahoma bar! My first job was working in Joplin, Missouri for a general practice attorney. I worked there for a few years until I had my first child, Carlye. I stayed at home with her and then had my second child, Charley two years later. Unfortunately, my marriage did not last and I ended up filing for divorce- and a super crazy one at that... not only because the company my husband's worked for was being investigated by the FBI for fraud (total Jerry Springer story) but because I simply fell apart knowing that my husband cheated on me. Add on that he made a statement that, to this day, totally devastated me... So I totally know what High Conflict Divorce is all about... even if I was lucky not to experience nearly as much of what my clients experience. The good news is that my ex and I found a way to learn to Co-Parent together which helps me give hope to my clients that it is possible! After my divorce, I moved to Kansas City to be near family. I was going to miss my friends, my church (which I was super active in)... but I could not have made it in Joplin as I still had not healed from the sadness of divorce. But the good news is that this really was the best thing for me because my first job in KC was with an amazing attorney- Dave Gleason. This is where the seeds of having a premiere law firm were first planted. In 2007 I started my law firm, Law In Kansas City... mainly because my kids were super involved in sports-practices started at 4:00 pm.
Chapter 3: Next Chapter
Being a single mom and working for someone else was tricky. I was super lucky because I had family support, awesome next door neighbors, and my son's coach, Bryan Elam (could not have made it all work without him helping take Charley here and there for practices and meets). Somewhere in the mix, I had another child, Caitlyn. Talk about a blessing I did not see coming. So between starting my law firm, a new baby, and all the sports (basketball for Carlye and football and wrestling for Charley), I was just holding my head above water... like all single moms. Then, sitting at practice, I started to talking to one of the other football dads- Todd. He had moved his son to our team and it was the only year he did not coach Carson. Well, the rest is history. We ended up getting married when there was a break in sports the following April. These pictures were taken on one of our last family vacations altogether... some of my favorite pics of all time. By then, Carlye was playing soccer, Charley and Carson were in football, Charley was wresting, and Carson was playing Baseball. Cate was just a cutie along for the ride. Blending a family was super rocky after some time in. So I totally can relate to my clients in this aspect as well. Eventually, Todd adopted Caitlyn so I even can relate to my clients on step-parent adoptions too. Now my daughter Carlye has her masters in Social Work and my son graduated from college and in his first real job while finishing grad school. Carson is out working and figuring out what he may want to do with the rest of his life. Caitlyn is in High School and is in choir in her senior year.
Chapter 4: Entrepreneurial Attorney
My Mentor Draye Redfern with Ultimate Advisors
My First Funnel Hacking Live
Meeting with other Entrepreneurs- my friend
Meeting mentors- not a good pic but OMG I couldn't believe I met
Jim Edwards... and it was my birthday and he and sang "Happy Birthday"
Working for Dave Gleason I learned two very critical lessons: (1) Automate everything you can and (2) Give your clients so much value they love your firm and tell everyone about it. Easier said than done.
I had BIG dreams for my firm. So I built it out in pieces... an umbrella brand with each are of practice set up to be independent of the others. I am still working on this grand practice, but my foundation is solid. But it still wasn't really enough and giving enough to my clients without increasing their costs...
I wanted so much to create the premiere law firm and find a way to have my firm be dialed in just like Dave did.
So I was looking... and searching... what was I missing? How could I make my dreams of the premiere law firm come true?
Then came my new mentor, Draye Redfern, and his coaching program- Ultimate Attorneys. I learned new strategies. This gave me an idea of what pieces I was missing. Plus I had someone in my corner. Someone who had the strategies I needed. Draye introduced me to the idea of what my practice could become someday, with a lot of hard work.
In looking to find out more about what Draye was teaching me...that's when my prayers were answered...
One day I was Googling stuff and this video came up. What caught my attention was the guy looked like my son Charley. Then he said he was a wrestler... just like my son Charley. So I stopped to listen. This one video by Russell Brunson changed my life forever...
I found a way to be free from tech guys that could take advantage of me...
I found a way to leverage my time and offer my clients way more value and create the Premiere VIP Members Only law firm I always wanted...
I found my passion and a way to love my law firm again.
I've created so much content... eBooks, videos, courses, webinars, so much help for my clients, and finally coming up with the solutions to provide my clients without charging them more money.
Even better for me is that I found a way to help people who can't afford my legal fees.
But the only way I could make this move is because I invested in finding amazing mentors, getting up super early to put in the extra time, meeting with other entrepreneurs, being a student, and believing I could make a difference.
Chapter 5: Giving Back
One thing I really love about Russell Bruson is that he created a community- Funnel Hackers. We are a fanatical bunch to say the least. The real reason we follow Russell anywhere he leads is his commitment to giving back. Click Funnels supports some wonderful charities that build schools in Africa and rescue children and women from slavery (Operation Underground Railroad). In fact, they even have an award for their contribution to charity.
For me, my favorite charity is Feed Northland Kids. This organization is set up in our local schools to provide meals kids can take home for dinner and on the weekends.
I also want to help support our Clay County Juvenile Office by helping coordinate donations for foster kids.
It is also my dream to offer my DIY Divorce Secrets and DIY Estate Planning Secrets to local domestic violence and homeless shelter and other organizations that have residential services to help people get back on their feet.
Each month I am feature an opportunity to give on our website and Social Media outlets. Our hope is to really expand our efforts in the coming years.
