Things Everyone
Needs to Do Before S/he Gets a Divorce!
(And 8+
Things Not to Do!)
Judy Colbert says that as millions of Americans realize each year that they will soon be
getting "unmarried," they seem to lapse into a mental time-warp when it comes to
taking a common-sense approach to this potentially adversarial situation.
Judy Colbert is an
award-winning photographer and writer who has specialized in features and travel for most
of her years as a journalist. She is the author of six travel guides. She has had more
than 500 articles published in national and regional publications.
It was during
conversations with friends and associates who were going through the process of divorce
that Colbert heard comments starting with, "I wish someone had told me about..."
and started assembling these common sense tips. Further interviews with family practice
attorneys, accountants and other professionals provided additional advice that can apply
to most of the 2.5 million Americans who divorce each year.
The Divorce
Common Sense Handbook does not advocate divorce. It doesn't gender-bash and it
doesn't promote doing anything illegal. It lists common sense things-to-do that apply to
everyday life. Topics include how and where to get legal advice, finances, housing,
settlement agreements, support systems, references, resources and most important, things NOT
to do before your divorce.
To make sure you
don't get taken to cleaners, and that your life doesn't get completely turned upside-down,
Colbert will say you need to take charge and "get a life!" She'll teach you
everything you need to know as she covers all the basics with tips and suggestions about
everything from obtaining legal counsel to filing away original birth certificates, from
establishing a support system to keeping tightlipped about what you really, seriously,
deep-in-your heart think of your spouse.
