I’m Alan Weiss, and my own challenging divorce experience opened my eyes to the need for a smarter, more controlled way to navigate separation. Caught between a convoluted legal system and a culture that left me feeling helpless, I realized you shouldn’t be forced to rely solely on fate—or a “good lawyer”—to guide you through one of life’s toughest transitions.
After years of lengthy and costly litigation, I partnered with Sydney’s top family lawyers and a seasoned Family Court Barrister to develop the Aussie Divorce system. In 2005, I published my book This Is Your Divorce, Not Your Lawyer, a practical guide featuring easy-to-follow forms and step-by-step instructions on hiring the right lawyer, gathering essential documentation, and setting both short- and long-term goals. The book sparked conversations on Ten News, TV Breakfast, and Talk Back radio shows across Australia, resonating with many who felt overwhelmed by the divorce process.
