The Divorce Mediation Answer Book

Just today in CT the lead story in the newspaper is of a divorce of a couple that was being handled in the adversarial legal system filled with lies and out-of-control anger that erupted into a shooting taking the lives of both parties to the divorce. I say enough is enough. Too many lives have been destroyed buy the adversarial legal system that pits husband against wife and makes the lawyers vast amounts of money. It is obvious to me and should be obvious to any thinking person that divorce of marriage does not belong in an adversarial system. It certainly belongs to be in a system of binding mediation with the purpose of protecting the lives of both parties, but not at the expense of the other.

It anticipates any and every question a prospective client or referral source may have about the Divorce Mediation process, and provides thoughtful and complete answers to each one.

Extremely helpful. I needed to know more about divorce to help clients in my agency. It gives details on how to get a divorce and all the aspects that need to be covered in a settlement -- children, property etc. It explains the mediation process and also emotional issues people are bound to experience when they divorce. It also deals with unmarried couples separating, which is very helpful.

I found this book a terrific resource -- it answered all of my questions about what I need to think about if I decide to separate from my husband. I also learned about divorce mediation as an alternative way to try to make a settlement without fighting in court.
