About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Divorce is hard enough by itself without you having to struggle through a legal system that tends to make things worse instead of better. If you follow my advice, you will have a much better chance for getting through this in one piece.

Divorce Helpline. In 1989, after nearly 20 years of producing books and software to help people help themselves, the next step was to reinvent the practice of law. My goal was to develop a way for lawyers to help people in a way that would be effective and affordable; a practice that would solve problems, not cause them. That was the beginning of Divorce Helpline.

Divorce Helpline attorneys do not take cases to court, but rather they serve as your coach and guide, helping you solve problems, develop options, talk to you Ex, and negotiate or mediate a fair settlement.

I left Divorce Helpline in 2007, but still know their attorneys and trust them completely. They have vast experience and are very effective, honest and sincere. You can call to ask just one question, or they will stand by you all the way to your judgment. You get to choose how much or little they do for you.

However good they are, books can’t replace years of experience and personal attention. People with some assets to protect or problems to solve will find that doing their own divorce with the help of an experienced Divorce Helpline attorney can save money and bring peace of mind.

This is a book you can talk to. If you have questions to ask or problems to solve, or if you want a friendly, reliable attorney to act as your coach or just do it” for you, call Divorce Helpline. Tell them Ed Sherman sent you.
|From mildly contested to flat-out war, with or without an attorney.
