Colin and Martin show you how to • set the stage for an inexpensive divorce, gather information, and avoid some pitfalls • get some free or nearly free legal advice about your specific legal questions • take good care of yourself as your life changes in big ways • make the family changes easier for your kids to handle • find free or low-cost, good-quality therapy for your kids if they need additional help • structure a solid co-parenting plan, and • work with a reluctant or argumentative spouse. If you want a road map to help you handle your divorce mostly as a do-it-yourself process, thereby saving huge amounts of money, then this guide is what you need.
