Divorce, Simply Stated (2nd ed.) (ePub)

Divorce, Simply Stated offers a laser-focused yet compassionate approach to navigating the divorce process. You will become empowered with knowledge and insight to maximize results, reduce costs, and care for yourself and your children during this difficult time.

With a rare blend of wisdom, wit, and sensitivity, the author, a 35-year career matrimonial lawyer, explains the mechanics of divorce, principles of divorce law and finance, how to find, afford, and work with the right divorce professionals, and how to avoid the dysfunctional conflict that traditional divorce actually encourages, and much more. In addition to all the divorce essentials, Divorce, Simply Stated contains a wealth of tips and strategies from a divorce veteran that cannot be found elsewhere.
