First, change your phone number or block your Ex

If you can afford to move

Move as far as you can

The best move is to a foreign country

Second, close out all the emails you had during your marriage

If you can change your name completely, do so.

Asked your divorce judge to grant the power to change your name.

Third, do not go checking their social media pages

Avoid places that your ex frequently hangs out

Last but not least, start a new life opposite of how you used to live

And that's how you can disappear after a divorce or breakup.
