Divorce: Are You Ripe For A Revolution?

There are over a million divorces in the U.S. each year. But, getting divorced is not something that most of us do twice. So, as first timers, with no experience, we enter into a state of upheaval as we fall into the divorce industry’s 50 billion dollar a year maze. In this tangled web you are likely to find yourself pitted against someone who was once your closest ally. And the rules of engagement are secret and complex. Something is wrong with this picture!!

I have long believed that the divorce industry is ripe for revolution. And, if you look at our  mediation practice it’s clear that we practice what we preach. In addition, we are in the process of creating a divorce guidebook, aptly titled The Divorce Guidebook: Tools, Support, Information and Advice For Successfully Navigating the Treacherous Terrain Between Married and Divorced that includes contributions from over thirty nationally recognized divorce experts. The book won’t be published until late 2016. In the meantime, over the next few months, in this blog, we will offer you some tips for achieving an emotionally and financially successful divorce.
