The Divorce Primer

Information is power. Answer your questions and explore your options before you decide what you want you want. Do you really want a divorce? What about a separation? Do you want to try mediation or do you want to start with an attorney and the courtroom.

If you are lucky, your attorney will answer all of your questions. If you are even luckier, your attorney will answer the questions that you did not even think of asking. If not, you may end up involved in a process that you did not want, and do not like, and your attorney may be making critical decisions for you.

How do you change that? Information is power and you need that power to make your decisions. You get that information in The Divorce Primer. We are attorneys who ask our clients to educate themselves before beginning any divorce process. We wrote this book to allow everyone the same opportunity. The Divorce Primer puts you in the driver's seat.
