Book Nook - The Road to Splitsville: How to Navigate the Road to Divorce without Making Yourself Crazy, Your Children Miserable, or Your Lawyer Wealthy … and Then Discover Your Path to Happiness

  Attorney Jeffrey Stephens and psychologist Ronald Raymond have helped guide their fair share of families through the legal and emotional aspects of divorce across their combined nine decades of practice. They recently collaborated on a new book, The Road to Splitsville: How to Navigate the Road to Divorce without Making Yourself Crazy, Your Children Miserable, or Your Lawyer Wealthy … and Then Discover Your Path to Happiness.

 

“We live in a society where the decision to divorce is all too common, and those needing advice about how to get there are many,” Stephens said. “Our intention is to reduce the stress and expense involved in the divorce process by providing insight, support, empathy and the practical information you will need to complete your journey as you find the path to your new life.”

 

The book provides common sense approaches to support readers throughout every aspect of ending a marriage.

 

 Topics covered include:

 

· Confronting and understanding the “why” of the divorce

· Techniques for dealing with the inevitable emotional factors

· Choosing the legal process best suited for your individual circumstances

· Selecting an attorney, managing that relationship and limiting the costs

· What to do if you need help from a therapist and how to choose one

· Avoiding advice from well-meaning, but dangerous, friends

· How to deal with adult children of divorce

· How to deal with young and adolescent children of divorce

· How to handle the loss of love

· How to rebuild your life and find happiness

 

Practical and interactive — with brief questionnaires to help readers see things more objectively — The Road to Splitsville aims to help make the journey toward ending a marriage a little less rocky.

 

“This book is intended for people who have concluded that they are going to divorce,” Stephens added. “We hope to minimize the emotional and economic damage to you — and your children, if you are a parent.”
