Product Description

The end of a marriage can be a messy, expensive and traumatic time, or it can be a sad but necessary stage on the path to new lives for you, your spouse and your children. This guide aims to help you help yourself. By being aware in advance of the problems you may encounter and the issues that need resolution, you can prepare to deal with them in an atmosphere of negotiated agreement rather than arbitrary and hurtful dispute.
