A great, commonsense book

During divorce, people get caught up in destructive emotions. This book helps keep things in perspective and lays out common sense ways to approach divorce. So good, I sent a copy to my soon-to-be ex.

Very Insightful

I read this book before filing for a divorce. It was unbelievably helpful and really gave me great alternatives and strategies for a more amicable situation. While my situation was not as complex as others, I feel as though this book is worth the read for anyone who is contemplating divorce or preparing to file for divorce.

Very well written. Great information.

Very good job covering many aspects of divorce including addressing many different scenarios which may fit your situation. Also gives great advice about looking out for yourself (your mental and physical health) and keeping your sanity during these typically unsettling times. Provides very useful insight into the divorce process and if both parties involved follow the advice in this book, they will likely come to a quicker, more amiable conclusion that both can live with while saving thousands of dollars in legal fees. Also, the forms on the included disk are very useful and enlightening. I was able to get a very good estimate of the child support and alimony amounts.

Helping You Develop The Right Mindset

"Make Any Divorce Better" gives a different perspective on divorce than most books currently available. Ed Sherman has a true understanding of the dynamics of divorce, and points out that ending a marriage is more than just a legal action. The "real" divorce involves disentangling yourself and your identity from your spouse (and this is where the real work begins). Luckily, you can avoid some of the emotional landmines that can result in a court battle by reading the helpful tips and strategies in this book. For example, instead of automatically turning to a lawyer when you first consider divorce, Ed Sherman points out why it's best to analyze your situation and take things slowly. By trying to keep the divorce process as conflict-free as possible, most people are more satisfied with the outcome as compared to those who choose to battle it out in court. The accompanying CD offers a lot of worksheets to help you gather information, develop a budget, and determine assets and debts. For potential custody battles, there is a childcare tasks worksheet to help show the degrees of parental involvement. You will also find a discharge of attorney form, sample settlement agreements, detailed and simple parenting plan agreements and worksheets, as well as child support guidelines and enforcement links. The post-divorce checklist will help jog your memory concerning of what needs to be taken care of after you get a divorce judgment. What is really nice about this CD is that you will be able to fill out the information and print out the worksheets for later reference. While it would be nice if every divorce was amicable, "Make and Divorce Better" also give you strategies to help navigate divorce when faced with domestic abuse and high-conflict situations, as well as how to prepare yourself for a legal battle. This is definitely a book that I would recommend.
