How is that possible?

April 9, 2007 (Lawdoggy'sfirstbloggy).  Gentle Reader, I'm from divorceland and I'm here to help. Scary, silly words, but I'm serious about wanting to help. My goal in creating this blog is to throw myself between you and the run away divorce litigation train.  Or to toss you a virtual lifeline, if you've already unwittingly stumbled into the morass of a bad divorce process.  The secret to a peaceful divorce process is collaboration and mediation. In plain English: take the long view; don't lose sight of the big picture; hire a lawyer who is a problem-solver, rather than a trouble-maker. Maybe that's three secrets. Anyway, I'll share what I've learned in 25 years of divorce practice...and I really do hope it helps. Diane

Books I Read And You Should, Too

  • Stuart G. Webb & Ronald D. Ousky: The Collaborative Way to Divorce
    There has to be a better way...and there is. Use this book as an introduction to a civil, efficient, bloodless divorce process that will help you keep what matters most: your family, your privacy, and your self-respect. (*****)
  • Karen Fagerstrom: A Problem to be Solved, Not a Battle to be Fought
    A Problem to be Solved...offers a simple, but helpful, introduction to collaborative law. Ignore the ugly drawings and focus on the message: divorce is best viewed as a future-focused planning process. All participants commit to engage their best efforts in problem-solving and future-planning with the present and future needs of all family members their decision-making North Star. The energy of the group is concentrated on untying the legal knots and jointly attacking the problem, not each other. I think the quote from Justice Potter Stewart says it all: "There is a difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do." (Page 33). (***)
