‘Is there life after separation and divorce? This intelligent, good-humoured book will help persuade you that there is… honest and compassionate.’
The Tablet
Product Description
Christopher Compston is no stranger to separation. He was a child of divorced parents and has himself divorced and remarried. In this essential book he also draws on his experience as a judge in the family law division.
The pain of divorce and separation is an unavoidable part of many people’s lives. In Living Through Divorce and Separation, Christopher Compston tackles the practical and emotional side of the experience. He examines the common feelings of anger, hurt and disappointment with down to earth compassion and understanding. Issues such as caring for children, where to live, and coping at work are all covered, along with advice on when to try for a reconciliation and how to deal with an ex-partner’s family.
Leaving other books to go into the legal details of divorce, Christopher Compston turns to his own work as a family law judge to bring vivid examples of what to do and what to avoid as new life emerges from the old.

A short read from an older man who's views may appear out dated by modern standards. Personally, I liked his no-nonsense approach in recognising how marriages fail and how the deserted party can begin to rebuild their self esteem and dignity during such dreadful times. The author has helped me to understand how the partner who ends a marriage, particularly with children involved, will often attempt to allocate 100% of the blame to ease their own guilt when the truth will nearly always involve fault on both sides. In short, this book is a valuable insight from a man who has the experience to offer constructive advice.

The author is a judge in the family division of the High Court in London.
He therefore observes at first hand, the current workings of the UK legal divorce system. The insights of someone who makes judgements, helped me to understand the process better.
His description of the personal insight the pain of divorce, makes this book worth reading for that 1 sentence.

This book is written more for the person who has been left, rather than being a non-judgemental book which would help everyone. Read more
