"Painless" divorce is the wrong way to describe this book!

This review is from: The (Almost) Painless Divorce: What Your Lawyer Won't Tell You (Paperback)
Based on the shining customer reviews, I bought this book as part of some research I'm doing on "successful divorce". I was horrified to count 4 separate references to shooting your spouse or someone else involved in your case. Is this truly a painless divorce?Although some of the strategies make sense, they were disjointed and very much oriented to an adversarial approach to the system. The bottom line in this book is "trust no one, and take no prisoners!" The writer was very obviously burned badly in her own divorce, and every single story in the book dealt with others who were similarly burned--yet the book offered no solutions whatsoever, besides revenge oriented tactics. Is it any wonder children of divorce suffer so? You know, not everything that happens in a divorce is someone else's fault. Having been there myself, and having been a divorce lawyer for more than a decade, I should know. The idea of being informed, being assertive, questioning a lawyer's advice when it doesn't pass the "smell test" are all good theories, but they're lost in a mire of horror stories and revenge motivations in this book. A better choice for legal procedures is James T. Friedman's "Divorce Handbook", and for the psychology end "What Every Woman Should Know About Divorce and Custody" (full of Machievallian tactis but pretty complete nonetheless). "Idiot's Guide to Surviving Divorce" was also complete and thorough.

This book is stupid,
By Darla (hayward, ca USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The (Almost) Painless Divorce: What Your Lawyer Won't Tell You (Paperback)
A book that teaches you how to get revenge on an soon-to-be-ex spouse is not a productive one. I suggest divorce-seekers stick to real solutions instead of revenge tactics.

This review is from: The (Almost) Painless Divorce: What Your Lawyer Won't Tell You (Paperback)
Divorice lawyers must hate this book! But I loved it. The subtitle, "What Your Lawyer Won't Tell You" says it all. This is a very helpful book. Itis MUST reading for information and advice that will make divorice less painfull from both an emotional and a financial standpoint.

This review is from: The (Almost) Painless Divorce: What Your Lawyer Won't Tell You (Paperback)
It's never too late. This book contains good mid-divorce and post-divorce advice too. Wish I could send a copy of it back in time 25 years to myself.
