I just know of the courthouse. They mail them to me ever month. I have to pay for the paper and mailing. about $1 a month.

Good luck

Think about the process.

A divorce is a legal process. For there to be a divorce action is required by the court. You can wait until something is filed at the court or you can try to market to people before they get to that stage (sellers who are breaking up).

There is no list of people having issues. Like most marketing you have to find ways to identify those who are more likely to fit the profile. Or you market to service providers who have contact with the target group. This assumes that referrals are allowed in the sector.

Because there is no list brokers or court house records you will have an upper hand compared to those who are not as creative and focused on proven results. See my comment later about testing.

Marketing.

Marketing professionals who have decades of experience generally tell you to create ad copy that speaks directly to those who you want to reach. You use words and statements that will ring true to them. You do not know who in the crowd will respond but if they see the message you want it to motivate them to contact you. Similar to how you notice things that you never noticed before until you had a need.

I do not market do people having marriage difficulties. I focus mostly on REOs and other things as I prefer not to deal with emotional sellers. That said the marketing I have seen for similar groups is best delivered to a farm area or by using signage, radio spots and TV ads.

Thinking out of the box: One idea is to park van with shrike wrapped advertising in Walmart parking lots that offers 30 minuets of free advice for people in financial or personal difficulty. Many people facing divorce are having other issues. You can refer out those who need something you can not offer.

Or run ads in the paper where divorce attorneys and bankruptcy attorneys advertise.

The secret with any advertising is to test, test, test as you need to know what works and what does not. If 2% is good and you are getting 3% then keep up the advertising assuming your cost per lead is less than the profits produced.

Backing up a bit. Do not focus too much on complex ways to do deals. Some folks just get a list from the title company of homes that have gone into foreclosure. They send out letters like other investors in their area. They get a few deals done each year and are happy with the results. How many deals do you need to make a profit?

How can you get quitclaim deed leads?

Thats funny Rich - kill two birds with one stone - get future divorce leads and take down a few cocktails!
A sure Win - Win

Here is what you do. Get some tickets to the court show Divorce Court and after the taping start handing out your business card to the prospects :mrgreen:

And Tim I've tried the Whoresaling technique and found out it only works for high priced call girls and it got expensive :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Well considering that this thread is almost 2 years old we assume that the original thread starter found the answers he was seeking so everyone else went off topic.

But going back to the original question probably the best leads for divorce lie in divorce lawyers. Find one,build up a relationship with the lawyer and than get some leads from him/her.

Divorce prospects are in the bottom of the top 10 of the prospect groups...

Personally I would spend money else where first. Your Center of Influence list is a better list by far
