SPLITOPIA:  DISPATCHES FROM TODAY’S GOOD DIVORCE AND HOW TO PART WELL  by Wendy Paris

While divorce has improved dramatically for many people over the past 40 years, our ideas and attitudes about it remain stuck in the past.  A belief that divorce must be a disaster for all can create just that outcome—and lead to the escalating fighting, scarred children and six-figure court battles we still see.

It’s time to update our understanding of divorce and use the tools, cooperative legal processes and support available today to get through this tough time with compassion, self-compassion and love. We need to harness our knowledge and the resources available to better protect our children, and respect our families—in all their myriad forms.  Splitopia can help.
