Survive divorce - Victoria Perrett

"The only people to come out of a divorce happier and wealthier are usually the lawyers. It can be the most soul-destroying, costly and confidence-sapping experience of your life. Yet you'd think, what with one in every three marriages ending on the rocks, that as a society we'd somehow be getting better at it. But no, all you hear about is squabbles, about pension rights and who gets to keep the dog. Well, I can't promise that I can make this difficult time one of joy and fun. What I can do (as a therapist who has also recently been through divorce) is to offer you some insider knowledge that will help smooth the process. And you never know, you might come out the other end still talking to each other!" Vicky Perrett. Getting divorced is never easy. It can, however, be vaguely civilised if you follow the insider's advice in "Survive divorce". Vicky reveals: How to protect the children, How to pick the best lawyer; The best methods for avoiding recriminations; Ways and means for handling your 'excess baggage'; The pains and gains of becoming single again.
