Divorce with Dignity James W Evans

Legal fees piling up. Kids picking sides. The mortgage. The credit card debt. The business. Hours (billable hours!) in the courtroom... Whether you are divorcing after a few years of marriage, or as part of a "gray divorce" after practically a lifetime, those are the images "divorce" brings to mind. But what if it doesn't have to be that way? What if your divorce was instead about closing the chapter on a life stage, about giving both parties more freedom, about finding a way to split amicably and in a way that honors what's best for your family instead of being told what's best by the state rubric?In Divorce with Dignity, financial professional Chris Heerlein and family attorney James W. Evans outline the process for an Agreed Divorce, a faster, less expensive and more amicable solution to divorce that is possible when both parties are willing to work together. Together, Heerlein and Evans outline the emotional and financial benefits of Agreed Divorce using a step-by-step walk through the process as well as actual case studies of those whose divorces were amicable, and those whose weren't. Learn how, with patience and communication, you can cooperatively decide what is best for your family, and possibly divorce with dignity.
