“He kept the money. I kept the debt. I didn’t realize that’s how marriage could end.”
I didn’t have kids. I didn’t think I needed a divorce platform. I thought, no custody battle? No problem.
What I didn’t realize was that he’d spent the last three years moving money, draining joint credit lines, and protecting his side while I worked two jobs to keep our business open.
We had a boutique wine shop. I handled the storefront, staff, and customers. He handled the books. And by “handled,” I mean he rerouted funds, used personal cards under the business, and signed for things in both our names. I found out when the vendors stopped shipping.
The day after I served him, he ghosted the business. Took his name off everything. Then filed a motion saying I was in financial freefall—his own words.
I had no idea how to fight it. I didn’t have a forensic accountant. I barely had a lawyer. I had receipts. And a lot of unpaid invoices.
I found Splitifi through a Reddit thread. Not a paid ad. Just someone talking about tools for organizing financial exposure during divorce. That phrase stuck with me: “financial exposure.” I was living in it.
Within a week, I’d uploaded every tax return, merchant report, and receipt I could find. The platform flagged six duplicate expenses across two credit cards I didn’t even know we still had.
That’s when I realized: I wasn’t just fighting my ex. I was fighting disorganization. Chaos was his weapon. Structure was my defense.
Splitifi helped me build a timeline. It didn’t fix the finances. But it proved the story. And that was everything.
