The McCartney divorce has been attracting headlines recently, not only because of the vast sums of money speculated as being the settlement figure, but also because of the strange media antics of Lady McCartney herself. Sir Paul's designer daughter, Stella, was reported as commenting on "Lady Macca's" TV outbursts, "Well it is Halloween when all the wicked witches come out!" Very good Stella, very good!
With such a high profile divorce being so topical I thought I would get a different perspective from a very different type of observer, Doctor Ditcher, the "International Privacy Strategist for men." The secretive strategist for asset protection and wealth protection planning for men going through divorce; he usually moves in very radical and some would say subversive ways. He never names his clients but when pressed he admits to having an average "save" for clients of $15 million a client. His wealth protection advice is clearly very much in demand.
We met up at his home in the Swiss Alps; this was my second time there. His Italian maid brought me coffee laced with Drambuie, a particular favourite of my host. After pleasantries and admiring the view I asked him what he thought of all the news about Heather Mills McCartney and the high profile divorce as well as the reported financial negotiations.
"Well, you wouldn't expect me to express any sympathy for her would you? We've all seen the high profile cases before where men have built up a business, assets wealth and good-standing through hard work, only to lose a massive amount during separation or divorce to someone they once loved and trusted. Heather Mills has just made it into the record books because of the amount she appears to be about to scoop after only four years of marriage and because she has achieved so much as a 'one legged wonder'! Heck, a woman with two legs wouldn't have cost Paul twice as much, would she? As a man involved in asset protection and divorce strategies for men I have a very jaundiced view of her and women like her"
Never politically correct I knew Doctor D' would spare none of his derision for a woman whom I know he feels is simply taking advantage of the pro-feminist injustice he feels currently "infects" the divorce courts (his word) in both Britain and America.
"With a very few exceptions none of the women in these cases would have made a hill of beans unless they had managed to snare a very successful man. Their only claim to fame - or wealth - comes from screwing the poor slob one last time, through the courts! The one lesson you learn by observing these cases is that the women take divorce planning and divorce strategies very seriously, the men usually don't. The men could do with a lot more asset protection planning too; that's my forte!"
"Men seem to think, " I'll get a good divorce lawyer and all will be OK." Bulls**t! A divorce lawyer is like a mortician; he just serves the corrupted flesh in as attractive a way as possible. Men need to actively protect their assets , not just trusting it will all work out. Divorce strategies and wealth protection do not just happen, they need to be planned!"
"If you think the courts or a good divorce lawyer will protect you, or if you think, your wife/girl is different and it won't happen to you, wake up and smell the roses!"
So what should a man in McCartney's shoes have done?
"I have a lot of sympathy for a man like Sir Paul; he didn't want to believe that things would deteriorate the way they did. Also, he probably didn't believe that he would be so badly stung after only four years of marriage. I don't know how many times he and she "did-it" over a four year period, but guess and divide the number into the 50 million everyone seems to be talking about and - well, you get the idea ; a very expensive experience! The thing is, a man must act when things start to go badly wrong. If you wait and let the woman act first you will always be reacting to her legal pressure. If you act first you get ahead of the game. You need to be protecting your assets by pre-divorce planning, just like the women plan their attack on your assets pre-divorce too, and believe me, they do!"
So how does a man act first? "That would be telling! My expertise is very particular and only my clients get to benefit from it, but there are a number of simple strategies for asset protection which you can put in place to control the knowledge your wife /partner gains about your affairs while you are still married to them. Remember in the field of asset and wealth protection knowledge is king. Deprive her of the knowledge and she will always be chasing after you for the information; let her have the knowledge and you will always be racing to catch up with her as she seeks to benefit from her knowledge of your affairs! It is one of the best pieces of wealth protection advice anyone can be given. Asset protection planning MUST start before the divorce starts if it is to be successful!"
Isn't that going to initiate the divorce, asset protection planning while still married will surely prompt the end of the relationship?
"Not at all. There are simple yet subtle steps you can take that she will never find out about, but which will keep your affairs private. It is a very effective divorce strategy for protecting assets."
I had observed in previous discussions with Doctor D' his emphasis on privacy. "Privacy is obviously very important to you as a strategy, Doc'. I note you style yourself an "International Privacy Strategist for Men" Why is privacy so important?"
"Actually I am "The International Privacy Strategist for men" he corrected. "No one else does what I do. Privacy is the foundation of asset protection. If you maintain privacy you can choose what information to reveal and what to withhold. If you do not maintain your privacy, you cannot make that choice because you cannot control the flow of information. Of course there is more to it than that but privacy is the start of all asset protection planning and divorce strategies."
"I teach my clients four Maxims, - rules of behaviour reflecting truths. The first is; Treat confidential matters confidentially. If you don't, then don't be surprised when your wife or partner uses the knowledge gained to her personal advantage."
"What are the other three Maxims?" I ask. "Sorry Jack, only my clients get to hear them!"
I decide to be cheeky and chance my hand for some information normally off limits. "And Sir Paul, does he know the other three maxims?"
The Doc' smiles at me before downing the rest of his coffee. "If he did his asset protection planning and divorce strategy would have been put in place years ago. He isn't acting on my advice or my maxims or she wouldn't be talking about anywhere near 50 million!"
