“If I truly believe that they’re going to need it, I will put my business card in my wedding card,” the lawyer, 39, explained on TikTok.

Sometimes the risky move is taken as a joke, but it shouldn't be.

"I don’t do it to people I think will last,” she went on to explain, “I do it people that won’t last.”

After sharing her business card venture people slammed Kristen as "insane" on the social media site.

One commented on the viral clip: "In their wedding card? That's so tacky I would not appreciate a friend doing that."

"Damn, divorce attorney business card in their wedding card is a bit sloppy," someone else wrote.

But others who work in the wedding industry agreed they could also tell when lovebirds wouldn't last.

"As a wedding photographer I can tell immediately," one commented.

And a second agreed: "As a makeup artist working in the industry for the last 13 years I always know who is there for a marriage and who just wanted a wedding."

And according to another wedding photographer, there a few red flags that let them know a marriage is doomed from the start.

They explained: "The red flags are a huge wedding party with six plus bridesmaids, the bride and groom ignoring each other during the reception, and the groomsmen talking crap about the bride."

And another thought it all came down to one particular moment, they said: "As a wedding photographer I can tell A LOT about a couple while they're cutting their wedding cake.

"If they get through it together while genuinely smiling and enjoying the moment, green flag."

As for Kristen, she said the red flags she looks out for are "when one of the parents of the bride or groom offer to pay money for them not to marry the other person."

But Kirsten's controversial move might not be such a bad idea after all, since it comes just weeks before "Divorce Day".

According to the pros at, the first Monday of the new year is known as "Divorce Day" since it's the time "when couples are most likely to file for divorce or separation".

Signs your relationship is heading for a divorce

  1. Persistent Communication Breakdowns
    Constant misunderstandings, arguments, or a complete lack of meaningful conversation can signal deep-seated issues.
  2. Emotional Distance
    Feeling like roommates rather than partners, with a noticeable lack of intimacy or emotional connection.
  3. Frequent Criticism and Contempt
    Regularly criticising each other and showing contempt, such as sarcasm, eye-rolling, or mocking, can erode the relationship's foundation.
  4. Unresolved Conflicts
    Recurrent arguments about the same issues without any resolution can indicate deeper incompatibilities.
  5. Loss of Trust
    Trust is crucial in any relationship. If it's been broken and cannot be rebuilt, it may be a sign that the relationship is in trouble.
  6. Different Life Goals
    Significant differences in future aspirations, such as career goals, lifestyle choices, or family planning, can create insurmountable divides.
  7. Avoidance
    Preferring to spend time apart rather than together, whether through work, hobbies, or social activities, can indicate a desire to escape the relationship.
  8. Lack of Support
    Feeling unsupported, whether emotionally, financially, or practically, can lead to feelings of isolation and resentment.
  9. Financial Disagreements
    Constantly arguing about money, spending habits, or financial priorities can strain the relationship.
  10. Infidelity
    Whether physical or emotional, infidelity can be a major breach of trust and a sign of deeper issues in the relationship.
  11. Changes in Affection
    A noticeable decrease in affection, physical touch, or romantic gestures can indicate a loss of connection.
