I don't think that two divorces makes him less knowledgeable than someone who hasn't been married at all. It might make him more knowledgeable. It might have no bearing at all.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He'd definitely have to ask himself why his marriages didn't work. It's been intimated that the one with Alexis' mom didn't work because as much of a kid as he is, he knows when and how to be an adult, something which she still struggles with, thinking that life's the eternal party.
The one with his publisher/editor is a stickier situation, given that she's obviously an adult, so why didn't that one work? Because she's in a position of power over him? He seems to be able to deal with that where Beckett's concerned, but maybe that's because he acknowledges that she's the professional. So if it's not the actual power, maybe it's the manner in which it's wielded? Maybe it's just a case of compatible only up to a certain point?
Maybe it's because for all her independence and strength, Kate occasionally allows herself to lean on him?
So many delicious possibilities.

We know he was competitive with wife #2 about Alexis, and it sounded like he was afraid of losing his unique relationship with his daughter.

Okay, first of all, DC metro trains are not metal, and the stations are not tiled. Secondly, DC residents do not stand quietly on the escalator during rush hour.
This is such a pet peeve for me as a DC resident. I know that it's not a big deal, but details matter!
ETA: Although they did get one thing right when they said that no one was paying attention to the house fires because there was a storm brewing. This place does shut down at the whisper of snow.
