Book Description:

Nolo’s Essential Guide to Divorce is just that―the one guide that anyone going through a divorce should have. It’s thorough, easy-to-understand, and up to date. The focus on avoiding conflict will help readers divorce with as much dignity and as little difficulty as possible, and can help preserve long-term relations.

From the Author:

Nolo's Essential Guide to Divorce is for everyone who wants to be informed and empowered while going through the challenging process of a divorce. Knowledge is power, and there is a lot to know about the laws and rules of divorce, as well as about the different ways a divorce can be handled. Whether they ultimately choose to do mediation, to use a collaborative process, or to use an attorney to negotiate or litigate, my hope is that readers will feel like full participants in the process, and will have confidence that they are making informed decisions.
