About this book

Divorce guidance you can count on

Divorce is never easy, but with the information in Nolo’s Essential Guide to Divorce, you can make the process as simple, inexpensive, and conflict-free as possible.

With compassion and expertise, family law attorney Emily Doskow explains how to make divorce less painful by helping you:

  • understand the divorce process
  • minimize day-to-day conflict with your spouse
  • work with lawyers or mediators without breaking the bank
  • avoid costly, exhausting court battles, and
  • stay calm and make good decisions.

You’ll learn about your legal rights and options for resolving tough divorce-related issues, including:

  • child support and custody
  • alimony
  • property division, and
  • drafting a marital settlement agreement.

The 11th edition is completely updated with the latest rules on property division, grounds for divorce, and court procedures, and includes tips on participating in virtual meetings, mediations, and court hearings.
