“He doesn’t need to threaten me anymore. He just needs to file.”
I run a boutique bakery downtown. I’ve got invoices to send, payroll to manage, and two kids who need breakfast before 7:30. What I don’t have time for is a grown man filing five motions a year to remind me he still has access to my life.
Our divorce finalized last spring. We split custody, split assets, and I finally started sleeping through the night. Three months later, he filed to change the schedule. Then for contempt. Then for sanctions. Always something. Always timed around my busiest weeks.
I’m not afraid of him anymore. I’m afraid of the time it takes to respond. The attorney fees. The missed deliveries. The moments with my kids I can’t get back because I’m chasing down discovery.
Then my accountant mentioned Splitifi. I thought it was just for people in active divorce. But it saved me more time—and sanity—than any platform I’ve ever used.
Now I log every motion. Tag every filing. My calendar auto-tracks disruptions. My parenting plan is backed by timestamps, not just memory.
When he filed again last month, I didn’t panic. I pressed two buttons and sent the judge a full record—clean, clear, undeniable.
Abuse changes shape after divorce. But so can accountability.
