Divorce With Less Drama: The Road to Splitsville Paves the Way for Gentler Journey
Divorce is never easy, but it can be less stressful with the legal insights and emotional support provided by attorney Jeffrey Stephens and psychologist Ronald Raymond in their new book, The Road to Splitsville: How to Navigate the Road to Divorce without Making Yourself Crazy, Your Children Miserable, or Your Lawyer Wealthy … and Then Discover Your Path to Happiness.
Their strategies stem from decades of expertise in their professions and offer folks a more amicable — and therefore less costly — approach to ending a marriage, with a path to post-divorce happiness as the ultimate outcome.
“Our purpose is to demystify this journey, simplify the expedition, minimize the emotional turmoil and expense, and have you reach the other side of this path without the scars so many suffer unnecessarily on the road to a new life,” the authors write in the book’s first chapter.
Topics covered include:
- Confronting and understanding the “why” of the divorce
- Techniques for dealing with the inevitable emotional factors
- Choosing the legal process best suited for your individual circumstances
- Selecting an attorney, managing that relationship and limiting the costs
- What to do if you need help from a therapist and how to choose one
- Avoiding advice from well-meaning, but dangerous, friends
- How to deal with adult children of divorce
- How to deal with young and adolescent children of divorce
- How to handle the loss of love
- How to rebuild your life and find happiness
Useful and interactive — with brief questionnaires to help readers see things more objectively — The Road to Splitsville is intended to make the journey toward ending a marriage a little less rocky.
“This book is for people who have concluded that divorce is inevitable,” Jeffrey Stephens added. “We hope to minimize the emotional and economic damage and point them toward a path to happiness.”
