      INTRODUCTION

      One day my daughter, Cherie, and I were talking about the fact that I was looking for book ideas for my next projects. She suggested a book about divorce. She felt my experience and training as a social worker would be a good basis for the book. I told her I liked the idea, that it had potential, and I would think about the idea. It did peak my interest.

      Later she brought the subject up again. She said she had been talking to a number of her friends who were either going through a divorce or were already divorced. They all felt a book giving suggestions for coping with the divorce process, other people's experiences, and general information would be of benefit to them. They felt all their divorce's were stressful and that a book would have been welcomed by them.

      Then Cherie, herself, became involved in the divorce process. We discussed her ideas and suggestions for the book. She also related her friends experiences and suggestions. Cherie definitely felt a book was needed on the subject. She continued to encourage me to write the book. We had many discussions about the divorce process, the ramifications, and constructive ways to handle difficult situations. Finally, I decided to write this book.

      My thanks to Cherie and all those who shared their ideas, suggestions, and experiences about the divorce process.

      IS THIS BOOK FOR YOU?

      This book is for anyone who is thinking about a divorce, has decided to proceed with a divorce, or is going through the process of divorce at this moment. This book can also be helpful for anyone who has been through the stress of a divorce.

      1. If you have no children and a cooperative spouse; hire yourself a good attorney and get on with your life. (You are fortunate. Learn from your mistakes, don't jump into a new marriage, enjoy your life).

      2. If you have children and a uncooperative spouse; hire yourself the best lawyer you can afford. Read and study this book for tips on handling a difficult situation. LOOK OUT ---- buckle up your seat belt and get ready for a rough ride.

      3. If you have no children, but your spouse is difficult & uncooperative, refer to #2.

      4. If you have been through the trauma of divorce, read and study this book to assist you as you start your new life.

      RULE # 1

      Before you do anything, talk to an attorney. If you decide to get the divorce – hire a GOOD attorney who will listen to you, respect you, and fight for you.

      This is the first and most important rule! Without a good attorney, you are in deep trouble and YOU ARE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR PROBLEMS that could last forever.

      Take out a loan, take money from your savings account, pawn the silverware – you must hire a good attorney. The attorney should have a special expertise in divorce. Do not get an attorney who does one or two divorces a year, a family friend, a real estate attorney, a new attorney, someone who just moved into town, or will give you a discount. You want a divorce expert, someone who knows the court system, who is persistent, will go to bat for you, and will give you proper guidance. Your future is at stake!

      CONSIDERING A DIVORCE?

      Are you considering divorce? Does your spouse agree?

      Will your spouse cooperate or be uncooperative?

      COOPERATIVE SPOUSE:

      1. Work things out together with the assistance of lawyers.

      2. Keep emotions under control, try for rational, logical thinking.

      3. Keep the children out of the middle, do not use the children as pawns.

      4. Go on with your lives. (Tolerate each other as necessary).

      UNCOOPERATIVE SPOUSE:

      Be prepared for endless conflict, problems, revenge, and hostility. Hopefully, the spouse will not go to extremes, but you cannot depend on that happening.

      Women are not always cooperative during a divorce, just like some women batter their husbands. The present issues can be presented for either sex. Yet, the majority of people who are battered are women and the majority of people effected negatively by divorce are women. Therefore for the purpose of this book, we will be using the female pronouns.

      DIVORCE – REALISM IS ESSENTIAL!

      RULE # 2

      BE REALISTIC!

      Are you ready for this experience?

      Are you ready for emotional upheaval?

      Are you ready for friends and family upheaval?

      Are you ready for the court system?

      Are you ready to deal with anger, loss, and change?

      Are you ready to stand alone, if necessary?

      Are you ready to deal with financial difficulty?

      Are you ready to being alone?

      Are you ready to deal with stress?

      DIVORCE MEANS THE FOLLOWING:

      1. Your life will change forever.

      2. If you have children, their father (or mother) will always be part of your life ---- FOREVER.

      3. If your spouse is uncooperative, he/she will always be uncooperative. Sometimes less, sometimes more, but you must always be prepared for bumps in the road, if you need to continue the interacting with him/her over time.

      4. If you have children, your spouse and his/her family will be (& should be) bonded with the children. This means they also are bonded with you – forever. (You need to deal with this situation in a mature, adult manner).

      5. You will be the subject of gossip and second-guessing.

      6. Some of your friends will desert you.

      7. Other friends will simply not want to be involved,
