Synopsis

She can help save divorcees lots of anguish, and lots of cash.

Find an affordable divorce lawyer who does not snort scornfully at the word “mediation.”

Survive the first, worst, year.

Deal with your adult or teen kids (who can be just as devastated as small children).

Get back to work or find a new career. (Age discrimination does not have to stop you.)

Use the Internet to date the Viagra generation.

Forgive the bastard (and yourself) and finally move on...and much more.
