The statistics are no secret: the U.S. Census Bureau reports that 50% of marriages end in divorce. This means that each year, 2.5 million people go through the divorce process -- many of them without a clear-cut understanding of their options. That's where The Unofficial Guide to Divorce comes into play.While most books on divorce are either personal sagas or dry, technical guides, this book is written with the aid of both a therapist and an attorney. It sensitively explains the process and offers unbiased advice on selecting an attorney, evaluating agreement options, dealing with a high-conflict divorce, helping families cope with stress, getting emotional support, using the Internet as a valuable resource, and so much more. The Unofficial Guide to Divorce will allow readers to survive the ordeal and come up winners both emotionally and financially.
I bought this book soon after filing for divorce. It's a good resource with many smart tips and ideas. I found it very easy to read and very helpful to refer back to as my divorce progressed. Recommended.
Wish I had it when I got my divorce

This book is packed with really useful, comforting information. Divorcing, for whatever reason, is one of the most stressful things in the world, and in most cases you aren't thinking all that clearly -- I know I wasn't! I did whatever my lawyer said, paid him whatever he asked for, and then realized later that things would have gone much more smoothly -- and more quickly -- if I had had this guide in hand; and I would certainly have saved some money and anguish. I'm recommending this book to friends who are facing divorce right now -- anything that helps is a blessing -- and this book helps a lot!
