Product Description
Book Description
Simone Katzenberg is a family lawyer and mediator in private practice in London. In this book, she aims to link the emotional and legal aspects of divorce without becoming weighed down by either psychological or legal jargon. Based on her observations of people going through separation and divorce, this book begins with an analysis of the emotional process broken down into seven stages: breakdown, shock, anger, pain, hatred, grief and acceptance. The second part contains practical advice on the legal process including the divorce itself, issues arising over the children and how to negotiate towards a financial settlement. There are helpful sections including tips on finding and dealing with solicitors, costs, first moves, the finances generally, housing, pensions, types of orders, mediation, procedures and courts. Case studies are presented to illustrate particular experiences common to many marriage crises, and a list of relevant addresses and telephone numbers is provided.
