Your Best Friend's Guide to Divorce The ultimate
guide to dealing with your lawyer, your ex and
your life during a high-conflict divorce with
children
Sinopsis
Your Best Friend's Guide to Divorce is a
no-nonsense, in-your-face, and completely
hilarious guide to making the best of a
high-conflict divorce with children. Written from
the perspectives of those who have survived the
battle, this guide will help you to sidestep the
multitude of mistakes we8217ve made along the
way. This tongue-in-cheek guidebook begins with
the chapter Your Divorce Lawyer is not Your
Friend (or even a nice business associate),
which provides an in-depth perspective of the
divorce lawyer trap that becomes both costly,
and angst-producing in a way that may even rival
your ex-spouse. Imagine the horror! This
unapologetic depiction of the divorce lawyer and
family court system is designed to empower the
soon-to-be-divorced to steer clear of costly
emotional decisions, and to shrewdly tackle
essential separation and divorce tasks the right
way the first time. From there, Your Best Friends
Guide to Divorce life coach tells an irreverent,
yet equal parts loving and firm account of the
whole process. She spares no ones8217 feelings
when she lays out the straightforward skinny
when it comes to 8220not just surviving8221 a
separation and divorce with children, and
instead consistently reminds the reader (via the
chapters Get Your Emotions in Check, Landmines,
and Pitfalls) that the only person they can ever
change is themselves. While the author is
empathetic to the extreme emotional struggles of
divorce, she in no way excuses self-destructive
behaviors, and demonstrates via
5
actual case studies how they actually make the
high-conflict divorce far worse in both the short
and long term. In the chapter Case Studies and
Cautionary Tales OH MY, the all-too- real and
tragic cautionary tales are presented. Here, the
reader gets a first-hand look at the wide range
of divorce drama that the author reasons could
have been avoided with the use of this book
(she8217ll will remind the reader of that many
times along the way). In a high- conflict
divorce, it seems that common sense is rarely
common on either side of the coin, and the only
people benefiting from the conflict are the
attorneys and the court system. The central
theme of this informal, rite-of-passage guide is
that prevention and deescalation are the
best-medicine approaches to any divorce
situation. The author uses a friendly, 8220come-
on buddy8221 tone that anyone can relate to,
and implies that through humor, even the darkest
of times can be endured. This book is aimed
mostly at the forty- something crowd, and pokes
fun at the reader, author, and the author8217s
acquaintances in a way that is not only
relatable, but truly lightens the mood for
prospective divorcees. While this book
encourages readers to check their emotions at the
door, it never attempts to diagnose or treat the
reader. It does however deliver a healthy dose of
the writer8217s no-bullshit straight talk
regarding situations where common sense seems
strangely counter-intuitive in the world of
divorce procedures. Finally, while funny and
entertaining, this book teaches the hardest
lessons of all in any life crisis, self-control
and self-love are essential survival tools.
Post-divorce is discussed through chapters
addressing dating, and upsides to divorce.
