The Ex-Wives' Guide to Divorce: How to Navigate Everything from Heartache and Finances to Child Custody

Description

What can two women who married the same man tell you about divorce? Plenty! Divorce can tear up a woman's life like a tornado going through a trailer park, but it doesn't have to be that way. Seasoned experts on all things divorce, Holiday Miller and Valerie Shepherd developed a unique friendship after they both married and divorced the same man. They learned the hard way that when divorce is on the horizon, most women fall apart. While the husband is gathering ammunition with his high-paid attorney, the wife is rehashing what went wrong—instead of preparing herself for the battle ahead. The Ex-Wives' Guide to Divorce teaches women how to manage the "business of divorce" in a focused, realistic, and organized manner. Miller and Shepherd aren't lawyers or psychologists, but they have the hard-earned wisdom of experience. They share crucial advice on how women can build a support system and maintain a tenacious spirit through the heartache and nitty-gritty negotiations over alimony, child custody, and the rest. Divorce is never pretty, but Miller and Shepherd want to make the experience as easy and painless as possible. Straightforward and honest, this essential guide equips soon-to-be ex-wives with a road map of what lies ahead, easing their fears, saving them money, and motivating them to start building new lives for themselves, sans Prince Charming.
