"When it comes to divorce, there's the old way- and there's the fair way. I know, because I learned the hard way." —Karen Stewart Divorce is costly. It costs money-masses of your money. It costs time-hours and hours spent in meetings, on the telephone, and completing paperwork and depositions and filing affidavits. It costs heartache as battle lines are drawn and loved ones, especially children, suffer emotional pain. Karen Stewart's own harrowing story of divorce is an unqualified testament to these truths. Her experience led her to believe that there had to be a better way to end a marriage and get on with life. Her ideas and vision evolved into Fairway Divorce Solutions, which provides a model for divorce with dignity and an end to traditional divorce. the Fairway Process Offers: a strategic step-by-step process that brings win-win resolutions regarding children, property, and money a decision-making process that leads to consensus and fair outcomes a focus on the children of the marriage a plan to control costs that can often escalate out of control in typical divorce proceedings a process that rejects blame or victimization a focus on the future that has a well-thought-out plan for parenting and finances. More and more Canadians are turning to this new divorce approach to help them transition to new beginnings. If you are facing the reality of divorce, you owe it to yourself, our chi8ldren, and your bank account to read a book that offers promise, not dread, and calm instead of a storm. "This Practical step-by-step process will not only save considerable time, energy and money, but most of all it will provide a clear path for a hopeful future." —Les Hewitt
Legal fees piling up. Kids picking sides. The mortgage. The credit card debt. The business. Hours (billable hours!) in the courtroom...Whether you are divorcing after a few years of marriage, or as part of a "gray divorce" after practically a lifetime, those are the images "divorce" brings to mind. But what if it doesn't have to be that way? What if your divorce was instead about closing the chapter on a life stage, about giving both parties more freedom, about finding a way to split amicably and in a way that honors what's best for your family instead of being told what's best by the state rubric?In Divorce with Dignity, financial professional Chris Heerlein and family attorney James W. Evans outline the process for an Agreed Divorce, a faster, less expensive and more amicable solution to divorce that is possible when both parties are willing to work together. Together, Heerlein and Evans outline the emotional and financial benefits of Agreed Divorce using a step-by-step walk through the process as well as actual case studies of those whose divorces were amicable, and those whose weren't.

Packed with research, insights, and illuminating (and often funny) examples from Paris’s own divorce experience, this book is a “practical and reassuring guide to parting well.” —Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project Engaging and revolutionary, filled with wit, searing honesty, and intimate interviews, Splitopia is a call for a saner, more civil kind of divorce. As Paris reveals, divorce has improved dramatically in recent decades due to changes in laws and family structures, advances in psychology and child development, and a new understanding of the importance of the father. Positive psychology expert and author of Happier, Tal Ben-Shahar, writes that Paris’s “personal insights, stories, and research” create “a smart and interesting guide that can be extremely helpful for those going through divorce.” Reading this book can be the difference between an expensive, ugly battle and a decent divorce, between children sucked under by conflict or happy, healthy kids. This is “a compelling case that it’s high time for a new definition of Happily Ever After—for everyone” (Brigid Schulte, author of Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time).
The sad and tragic truth in the U. S. is that more than 50% of all first marriages end in divorce. Most divorces occur within the existing litigated court process, wherein the divorcing parties are almost required by the very nature of the adversarial process to become antagonistic to each other, waste time and money, and treat children as pawns in their power struggle. The physical, emotional, psychological, and financial costs of litigated divorce can be enormous. Now, there is another way: Divorce with Sanity. Richard S Rabbin, a respected Family Law Attorney who has handled countless divorce cases during the past three decades, has written a book that provides people seeking divorce with an entirely different approach to the divorce process. People can separate with dignity, self-respect, and cooperation. They now have the tools to escape the adversarial divorce process and create their own divorce rather than allowing the court to do it for them.
