Guess which couple got more of what they wanted: Charles and Charlotte, who worked out a negotiated settlement together? Or John and Joyce, who let the court settle their differences? Couples who want to negotiate their own divorce settlements now have a comprehensive self-help guide, complete with ground rules, agendas for discussion, sample forms, and options for divorce mediation without "bloodshed."

An organized, thorough guide to the important issues for every separating couple, and an effective aid for those who seek professional mediation.

Buddhism has been applied to everything from parenting to golf, but until now no one has offered Buddhist principles as a healing path through divorce. In Storms Can't Hurt the Sky, Gabriel Cohen bravely delves into his personal experience-along with insights from Buddhist masters, parables, humor, social science studies, and interviews with other divorces-to provide a practical and very helpful guide to surviving the pain of any break-up. Focusing on the emotions most common in the dissolution of a relationship-anger, resentment, loss, and grief -- Storms Can't Hurt the Sky shows how thinking about these feelings in surprisingly different ways can lead to a radically better experience. This compulsively readable book offers sound advice and much-needed empathy for anyone dealing with a break-up.

When money flies out of the window, love walks out of the door. In good times, money papers over the cracks in a relationship; in bad times, fault-lines become divorce suits' The recession is putting many partnerships under strain. A top London law firm reports a record number of people making appointments to see family lawyers. Relate has also experienced an increase in the number of people contacting them for relationship counselling, while the online advice centre InsideDivorce.com, has reported that two million married couples in the UK are experiencing marital problems and that 1.3 million people are actively considering leaving their marriage. Even in good times, almost 50% of marriages end in divorce in England and Wales. It seems, therefore, that many people need advice when faced with relationship breakdown. This book provides a practical guide to the process couples must undergo in order to legally end their marriage, and - while it is not a counselling manual - aims to help them realise that they are not the only people to have found themselves facing the complexities of ending a relationship. Topics covered include: Is this really happening to me? - what has gone wrong? Children; Finances; The divorce process; Separation; Annulment; Ending civil partnerships; Life after divorce.

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).
