Product Description
Product Description
Raoul Felder, a take-no-prisoners divorce attorney, draws from his experience to show readers how to avoid an acrimonious divorce and move on with life
There is nothing better than a good marriage. But when a marriage goes bad, there is no better option than divorce to give men and women a chance to start over. Handled wisely, divorce can be a beginning, not an end. It is the doorway to a new life free of hurt, anger, and resentment.
Felder and Victor cover each phase of divorce, from knowing when to call it quits, to choosing a lawyer, to the final decree. They explore prenuptial contracts, mediation, alimony, child custody, same-sex marriage, and life after divorce. They also share some of the most important facts one should know such as:
• The first offer a woman gets when divorce negotiations begin is usually the best.
• In all divorces, income rather than assets determine who pays what to whom.
• Divorce is about compromise. Divorce court is not a boxing ring.
After years of watching how divorce can go tragically wrong, Felder uses his expert knowledge, including case histories from his list of celebrity clients, to suggest how to make divorce more fair, civilized, and painless.

Not Much Here -, May 27 2011
By Loyd E. Eskildson "Pragmatist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Good Divorce: How to Walk Away Financially Sound and Emotionally Happy (Hardcover)
The flyleaf contends "Each phase is covered, from knowing when to end a marriage, to choosing a lawyer, to getting the final decree." Actually, about all the book contains is a warning that either partner or their lawyer that is 'out to get the other side' is simply heightening ill feelings at a bad time, and increasing the funds that will end up in lawyers' pockets. If readers hadn't figured that out already, this book probably won't convince them either.There are some soothing comments, nonetheless, such as "When a marriage has gone bad, divorce is the only remedy that allows people a chance at a better life." Repeated attacks on a spouse's intelligence, looks, character, desires, or sexual prowess are tantamount to emotional abuse. Most states consider legal fees to be the husband's obligation in a divorce. The financial merits of the case are judged on an income, not asset base. Smart clients will ask how much the total cost will be, and how long it will take. Settling out of court is preferable; a mediator can help.
