With one in three marriages now ending in divorce, it is imperative to be informed of the pitfalls, challenges and legal aspects involved in divorce and separation. Other rules and laws may apply to the many couples who prefer to cohabit rather than get married, but they, too, need to be informed of their rights when the relationship breaks down. Everyone’s Guide to Divorce and Separation will help with the following crucial aspects: * your rights when you get divorced, and the monetary aspects relating to divorce (including the consequences relating to assets and the divisions thereof); * maintenance issues; * all factors regarding the children, including how to implement a parenting plan, how much child maintenance will likely be required, and how to file for maintenance and child support; * the procedures to obtain a protection order when there is domestic violence or abuse; * an unmarried father’s rights and how to acquire parental rights; and * the law on cohabitation, same-sex marriages, and how to draft a proper cohabitation agreement. Written in an easily accessible way, Everyone’s Guide to Divorce and Separation is an indispensable and comprehensive guide at a time when you need expert guidance the most.

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.
