Divorce Help: Helpful Manuals

Getting Divorced Without Going to Court

To achieve a divorce that does not go to court is entirely in the hands of those people involved. That includes you, your spouse, and any professionals either of you decide to hire. As you begin the journey always keep in mind that you and your spouse should control your own divorce. When you are in control, you have the option of avoiding court.

Stop Your Divorce

This book is different than most, because it actually tells you what a counselor would charge you hundreds of dollars in office visits to receive. It is similar to a magician revealing how a magic trick is performed. Let me just say there are probably quite a few counselors out there who are not to thrilled that this professional information is being shared for such a modest price in such an easy to understand format.

One of the great advantages of this book, which separates it from all the others, is that you can benefit from it without the participation of your spouse. All other books talk about "how you should do this" and "have your spouse try this".  Follow the link above for more information.

Pension Issues and Divorce

"Don't Overlook What Could Be the Most Valuable Marital Asset!"
When couples get divorced they must decide how to divide their property. Retirement benefits (pensions) often form a substantial part of the parties' total marital estate and many times are the largest single marital asset afforded the couple. Similar to other assets, pensions are typically divisible in cases of divorce to the extent that they are acquired during the period of marriage. In order to divide a pension, the value of the retirement benefits accumulated during the period of marriage must be determined.
