This is a concise introduction to separation preparation, attorney searches, divorce mediation and practical suggestions for your fresh start. Short in length and filled with lists, this book is designed for easy reading by the temporarily brain-fried, stressed-out reader. The book was written for those who anticipate, perhaps with some degree of trepidation, the practical work involved in setting aside the marriage and beginning a new life. Here we will deal with the whole coming-apart process, from pre-separation planning to starting your new life. Here are just a few examples of some of what you will learn in Your Pocket Divorce Guide: Practical Steps to Take Before Filing for Divorce; Financial Realities; How to Choose an Attorney and Divorce Mediator ; How to Save on Legal Fees; Tips for Beginning your New Life.
