Divorce: Overcome the Overwhelm and Avoid the Six Biggest Mistakes –
Insights from Personal Divorce Coaches
 

“I absolutely love what Pegotty and Randall Cooper have to say in this book.
I have done so much research and writing on issues pertaining to lawyer limitations, particularly when it comes to matters involving families. Lawyers serve a necessary and useful purpose in family law matters and for society as a whole. For one thing, they warn of unforeseen ‘what- ifs.’ Furthermore, words have meaning and the difference between ‘may’ and ‘shall’ could substantially change the meaning of a provision. Lawyers are wordsmiths in that regard. Moreover, divorce is a legal process.
Through working with qualified personal Divorce Coaches and other such professionals, lawyers’ limitations can be overcome. In putting together the right ‘team,’ divorcing couples can obtain better results at a lower overall cost. In this book, the Coopers help to explain how the ‘game of divorce’ should be designed to improve the odds of a successful outcome in the grand scheme of life.”

“This book offers a step-by-step process to confront divorce and take the necessary actions for a healthy divorce. Use this book and you will reduce the amount of time, money and emotion you expend on your divorce by no less than fifty percent. The questions at the end of each chapter offer many insights. This book can be used as a vehicle when going through divorce and also as a reflection and completion of anything unresolved as a result of the divorce. Bravo.”

“As a person who’s gone through the divorce process, I understand the pain, overwhelm, confusion, and guilt that accompany the breakup of a family. Seeking guidance of trained professionals to facilitate healing is important, and Pegotty and Randall provide healthy and positive support in this book. Each chapter provides an overview of a mistake, insights about each problem, and then helps you develop clarity and a course of action before taking your next steps. The workbook format is especially helpful because it offers an opportunity for you to learn and grow as you reflect and write.

People make many mistakes during divorce, and Pegotty and Randall effectively focus on the most important ones to avoid, and then help you adopt new perspectives for a healthier divorce and a happier future. I recommend this book for anyone who feels overwhelmed by divorce.”

“Divorce can be the biggest emotional upheaval we face in a lifetime. This book reminds us to think about long-term personal goals and consider what we want to accomplish after our divorce so we can stay focused on these goals during our divorce.”

“When I read a preview copy of this book, I found myself wishing I’d had access to this information—and a personal Divorce Coach—when I experienced divorce many years ago. A personal Divorce Coach would have encouraged me to carefully examine my choices, and perhaps I would never have given up the alimony and child support I needed and deserved. Because I was emotionally drained, I listened to my attorney, and now I realize he wasn’t working in my best interest. It’s all water under a long ago bridge, but it was a costly experience.
For those who are facing divorce today, this book is a good start to coaching yourself and finding your own wisdom. Pegotty and Randall bring their extensive experience and genuine hearts to this topic. I recommend their work and this book without reservation.”
