Before the Tsunami: A common-sense guide to avoid damages before, during, and after divorce

A Common-Sense Guide to Avoid Damage Before, During, and After Divorce
By Dr. Roger Avila

Divorce isn’t just a legal process-it’s an emotional, financial, and deeply personal storm. In Before the Tsunami, Dr. Roger Avila shares a raw, honest, and eye-opening guide designed to help you prepare for, survive, and recover from one of life’s most devastating events.

Drawing from his own experience and insights gathered from countless conversations, Dr. Avila blends personal narrative, practical advice, and hard truths to illuminate the realities of modern divorce. With powerful chapters covering everything from emotional preparation and financial protection to co-parenting, social media, and toxic legal tactics, this book arms you with the knowledge to face the storm-and come out stronger.

Whether you’re contemplating marriage, navigating separation, or already living through the aftermath, this book is your roadmap to understanding what lies ahead. You’ll uncover:

• The myths and realities of divorce no one talks about

• Emotional and financial red flags before marriage

• The role of lawyers, courts, and institutions in modern divorce

• How to protect your children, assets, and mental health

• Stories, strategies, and reflections from real experiences

Before the Tsunami is not just a guide-it’s a wake-up call. It’s for those who believe ＂it could never happen to me,＂ and for those already in the waves, looking for solid ground.

This is only my opinion and interpretation of the family law in North America. I am not an authority in the topic. For advise and guidance look for a family lawyer, life coach and any other professional to help you go through the divorce process.
