On the way out? If you haven't yet decided if you want out of your marriage, please read Susie and Otto Collins book "Should you Stay or Should you Go" or another great resource is, Deciding Whether Or Not To Get A Divorce as these give you a different perspective. Sometimes it helps to get a different point of view.

 

Still a chance? If you are still trying or willing to try save your marriage you should seriously consider Lee Baucom book on "Saving Your Marriage" - there so many myth's about reconcilling that it shocks me. In fact, the steps you need to take are different for men and women. Reconcilling requires skills beyond making promises and 'going to a therapist'. Lee addresses this and more.

 

Getting legal? Jean Mahserjian and Whitney Clark are lawyers, in "The Divorce Primer - Divorce Basics for the Consumer" they show you how to save thousands of dollars on attorneys fees, how to navigate the roadmap on the divorce process, attorneys, and the court system and win at your divorce. To get the same information that is contained in the Divorce Primer, you would need to spend at least 10 hours with a divorce attorney - at $200 per hour, that is a $2000 value. That should be reason enough to seriously consider their book.

 

Another legal book by two retired divorce lawyers is "Take charge of your divorce!" a rather unusual book, it draws ideas from military tactics to help win your divorce. Sprinkled with quotes from the reknowned Chinese military general, Sun Tzu, here is a sample, "The attorney-client relationship is comparable to the ruler-general relationship. Think of your divorce lawyer as a military leader... capable of developing strategies, leading an army of associates and paralegals, and negotiating the peace treaty."

 

Want to snoop? Investigate Anyone teaches you how to find out information from your computer on just about anyone. Hundreds of databases store information on individuals daily. Learn step-by-step how to harness this huge information gold mine resource.

 

I included this link to Men Made Easy as it provides an interesting insight into men and why things don't always work out. Not strictly a divorce book but certainly an interesting read for someone struggling with the end of their relationship.

 

This is the book I wrote that covers what the others don't, "How to Legally Save Thousands on Your Divorce" is the book that uncovers major stumbling blocks that prevent people from getting more from their divorce, saving huge legal fee's and getting over the ex faster and for less. This book my big collection of essays on all the things I wish I had known before I got divorced to save me making some hugely expensive mistakes.
