Quiz Outcomes

(3rd PARTY) You're doing a great thing!
Image Source
It's awesome that you're trying to help out! The truth is, though, whoever you're doing this for would benefit from this quiz more if s/he did it themself. (Sorry!) Because of that, I encourage you to encourage them to stop by my website and take the quiz themselves. No one will know, and it certainly wouldn't hurt! In the meantime, if you want to keep scouting information for them, just CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW and enter your name and email.

(POST DIV) You're NOT READY for divorce because your divorce is already behind you!
Image Source
Based on your Quiz answers, it seems that your divorce is already over. I know, though, that just because your divorce is over, that doesn't mean that you don't still have divorce-related issues! (Sorry!) I'd be happy to help you with whatever I can. For now, I have good news and bad news. First the bad news. This Quiz really only makes sense for people who are either thinking about divorce, or are actively involved in a divorce. So it won't help you. Now for the good news. I still have something for you! I've put together a Post-Divorce Checklist that can help you make sure that you've tied up all the loose ends after your divorce. To claim your free Post-Divorce Checklist, and get weekly emails with information, inspiration, and access to resources regarding divorce just CLICK HERE! Then check your inbox!
4.
(DV) Physical Violence is NEVER OKAY!
Image Source
Domestic violence is a serious issue. What's more, because of the violence in your marriage, being "ready" for divorce is going to be a bit more complicated than for others. (Sorry!) In your circumstances, one simple quiz can't tell you whether you're ready for divorce or not. (Again, sorry!) What you need to know is that you really need support. I STRONGLY SUGGEST that you contact a domestic violence organization in your area (hopefully sooner rather than later!). Or, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1−800−799−7233 or TTY 1−800−787−3224. Please call them as soon as possible. Also, if you'd like to get a FREE Divorce Tool Kit so you can start preparing yourself for divorce, just click the button below. Stay safe.
5.
(GO WORK ON MARRIAGE) It sounds like working on your marriage might be your best bet right now. (And, btw, you're NOT READY for Divorce yet!)
Image Source
Based on your Quiz answers, you are NOT READY for a divorce right now. The good news is that you may not even be facing divorce at all! If YOU want to work on your marriage, and YOUR SPOUSE wants to work on your marriage, there's a chance you could work things out. If you try, and if things work out ... awesome! If you try and they don't work out, you can always come back and take the Quiz again. (You'll be in a very different place then anyway!) Whatever you do, I encourage you to do it whole-heartedly. Committing to something fully (whether that's committing to making your marriage work or to getting a divorce) will give whatever you do the best chance for success. Meanwhile, if you want to get more information about divorce can CLICK ON THE BUTTON BELOW and get your FREE Divorce Tool Kit. I wish you the best.
