The Plain Language Guide to New York Divorce: An easy-to-read primer on the New York divorce process, specifically written for non-lawyers

Whether you are planning on filing for divorce in New York, have been served with divorce papers, or simply contemplating the potential consequences of a future divorce, this book provides everything you need to know, in easy-to-understand language.

Unlike most other books on New York divorce, which are filled with vague answers like "it depends," the author gives honest real-world answers to tough questions like:

- What's the secret to getting a really fast divorce in New York?
- How much is my divorce realistically going to cost?
- What should I do if I am served with divorce papers?
- How can I get a divorce lawyer if my spouse has all the money?
- Can I legally punish my spouse for cheating on me?
- How much support will I have to pay if I file for divorce?
- I don't trust my spouse to be alone with our child. What can I do?
- My spouse hides his income, so how can I get the support I am entitled to?
- Can my spouse have divorced me without my knowledge?
- Should I allow my real estate (or injury or traffic ticket) lawyer to handle my divorce case?
- Can I serve my spouse with divorce papers by certified mail?

You can spend an hour with a New York divorce lawyer for $300, or you can read this book for a fraction of the cost and learn almost everything you need to know.
