Divorce: Preparing For Legal, Financial & Personal Decisions

A generation or two ago, divorce was considered "unusual"; now it is virtually institutionalized, with some 50% of all marriages dissolved. Nevertheless such views do not minimize or mitigate the overwhelming personal, financial, legal, social and familial trauma that former partners, their children and their families suffer when divorce proceedings are undertaken. Over time, the vast majority of divorce participants overcome their fears, anxieties and financial setbacks to evolve as more mature, sophisticated and realistic individuals, ready and willing to go about life’s tasks with vigor and productivity. But before that "final stage" there is a sustained period of time which requires personal support, financial advice, legal acumen and a gritty determination "to see it through". Divorce: Preparing for Legal, Financial and Personal Decisions is a thought-provoking, evocative, detailed and disciplined call to action to understand what divorce is about, what the decision to seek a divorce means now and what life will be like in the future.
