Editorial Reviews

Review

"Readers will learn about divorce, divorce lawyers, and courts from an expert ... Divorce Strategy is 'must' reading for anyone contemplating, or currently going through, the process of divorce." James Cox, Editor-in-Chief, Midwest Book Review.
"Black and white, no nonsense directions for navigating one of life's more difficult decisions ... All of it is presented in easy to read, easy to understand words that amount to indispensable resource tools." Leann Arndt, Buzz Review News, Buzzy's Book for 02/07/98.
"One of the members of my divorce support group brought Divorce Strategy to a meeting and told us how much the book had helped her cope with her divorce. Everyone there got so excited about it that I got a copy for everyone in the group. Laura Johnson is 'right on' about divorce. She has written a wonderful and empowering book for divorcing people. I highly recommend Divorce Strategy for anyone going through a divorce and for other divorce support group leaders." Mary K. Carey, Divorce Support Group, Jackson, Michigan
"Divorce Strategy lays it on the line, the bottom line, about finances and divorce." Judy Colbert, author of The Divorce Common Sense Handbook: 180 Things to Do and 8+ Things Not to Do Before Your Divorce
"The information in Divorce Strategy is sound and, I believe, very helpful and easy to use."
Gloria Grening Wolk M.S.W., C.I.C., divorce financial planner and author of Cash for the Final Days: A Financial Guide for the Terminally Ill and Their Advisors
"People thinking about getting a divorce or who are currently involved in one will benefit from Divorce Strategy, and they don't have to be a lawyer or an accountant to understand it." -- T. Chancellor, Paralegal

From the Publisher

During her eight years of research and work on over 700 divorces, Laura Johnson observed how lawyers and the courts handle divorces. Based upon what she learned, Laura believes that you must educate yourself about divorce and primarily use lawyers and other divorce professionals as consultants to help you plan and manage your divorce strategies. Her straight talk about divorce, divorce lawyers and family courts, as well as her easy-to-understand explanations of tactics you can use in a financial divorce, help you take a more assertive and informed approach toward your divorce.
The book contains a practical, step-by-step action plan and worksheets that help you devise your divorce plan for before, during and after the divorce. Since divorce lawyers often play a great role in the management and cost of a divorce, Laura includes a chapter about what you should look for in a good divorce lawyer and how to control legal fees. There are specific chapters for real estate, retirement, self-employment and small business to help you understand how a divorce affects these assets and sources of income. The book also has a handy index to help you quickly and easily find what you are looking for and a glossary that explains in simple, everyday terms the legal jargon used by divorce lawyers.
