Divorce Books: New and Upcoming Releases
I always make an effort to stay up to date on the resources available to my family law clients. A large number of my clients purchase books through Amazon that help them navigate the emotional divorce process. Several books will be released over the next few months that I am particularly excited about. All of these books can be preordered through Amazon.com, so you do not have to worry about an awkward run in at the book store.

At the center of the story is child figuring herself out in a new town, in a new living situation, and with a changed family.
The Complete Guide to Shared Parenting After Divorce: What You Need to Know to Co-Raise Your Child Successfully. There is truly nothing more critical for divorcees with children than determining how to co-parent during and after their divorce is complete. I am a huge fan of any book that encourages and assists parents in creating a healthy and successful co-parenting relationship. I encourage parents to read the book at the same time – consider it a mini-book club.
