History of MarriedToAClown.com
The birth of MarriedToAClown.com happened in 2019 and was trademarked that same year. After years of experience working divorce cases, Attorney Patrick Dankwa John noticed that his clients often felt that their lives were out of control. Many would laugh to stop from crying. They felt like they were living in a circus, and their ex or soon-to-be ex was the Clown of that circus. Hence MarriedToAClown.com was born. But this is your life we’re talking about, and that’s no laughing matter. If you’re ready to stop the circus and launch the Clown out of your life, give us a call.
