Publisher Description: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average woman's family income drops by 37% after divorce. Do you know what assets, or how much alimony or child support you are entitled to receive? Has your spouse threatened to leave you penniless? Have you spoken to an attorney and gotten sticker-shock? This book was written to help low- and moderate-income women navigate the legal system by walking a hypothetical self-represented woman step-by-step through the divorce process, including:
This soup-to-nuts divorce primer will teach you everything you NEVER wanted to know about divorce ... but need to come up to speed ... FAST This is the only self-help legal guide written by a woman who was once in your shoes who later went back to school to become an attorney.
BONUS: links to download, edit and print the two blank Separation Agreements (with and without children) contained at the end of this book.

KIRKUS: "A solid, informative self-help divorce guide ... covers a range of topics related to contested and uncontested divorces, including how to gather documentation of assets, estimate child support and alimony, and even, if necessary, obtain restraining orders. She discusses many topics related to asset division and child custody, including marital debt and visitation rights. The book is aimed at the broadest possible audience, but also discusses variations in state laws." (Review of the 5th Edition).
The 6th Edition has been completely updated with the latest case law, including ways to sensitively handle a Christian divorce, caveats regarding same-sex couple custody disputes post-Obergefell, and a completely rewritten Separation Agreement chapter with suggested clauses for unusual situations such as extraordinary school fees, private school or homeschooling.
