The Best Divorce Books of All Time

How to Move on with Your Life without Losing Everything. Divorce is the intersection of everything we hold dear in life: love, sex, money, and children. When those are threatened, people get angry. Logical and reasoned decision-making spirals to power plays and finger-pointing, and potentially open warfare. Without a clear head, divorce is a lose-lose for everyone except the lawyers. It doesn't have to be that way. Family law attorney Raiford Palmer has helped clients find a faster, more peaceful, less costly alternative to "World War III" divorce cases.

Unfortunately, some divorce lawyers (and their clients who don't know better) fight it out, at great expense to the divorcing spouses. Worse, divorcing parties fail to consider the all-important cost-benefit analysis to assess their realistic chances in a case, so they end up chasing legal strategies that are not worth the trouble. InI Just Want This Done, Raif guides successful professionals, business owners, and entrepreneurs through the divorce process, from filing through resolution. With step-by-step advice, practical tips, and never-do-at-any-cost warnings, I Just Want This Done teaches:. What matters and what doesn't in divorceHow to know if reconciliation is possible or notHow typical legal advice risks everythingHow to choose the right divorce lawyerHow to be a smart clientThe 22 myths most people believe about divorceYour 4 case resolution optionsWhat the "meta case" is and how to win itThe 4 true costs of divorce and how to minimize themHow to protect your business and career during divorceThe do's and don'ts of child custodyHow (and why) to hire a divorce coachHow to handle new significant othersHow to not be painted as a jerkIf you want to avoid the divorce spiral, regain control of your future, and keep your kids, money, mind, and happiness, this book is for you.

This highly anticipated second edition of Splitting includes new chapters on abuse, alienation, and false allegations; as well as information about the four types of domestic violence, protective orders, and child custody disputes. Are you divorcing someone who’s making the process as difficult as possible? Are they sending you nasty emails, falsifying the truth, putting your children in the middle, abusing you, or abusing the system? Are they “persuasive blamers,” manipulating and fooling court personnel to get them on their side? If so, you need this book.

For more than ten years, Splitting has served as the ultimate guide for people divorcing a high conflict person, one who often has borderline or narcissistic (or even antisocial) personality disorder.

Written by a family law attorney and therapist, and the author of Stop Walking on Eggshells, Splitting is an essential legal and psychological guide for anyone divorcing a persuasive blamer: someone who suffers from borderline personality disorder (BPD), narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), and/or antisocial personality disorder (ASPD).
