This book is not so much a book of advice on "how to survive divorce" and much as it is a good question and answer session on what goes on from a counseling and legal standpoint ... such as explaining what goes on in a divorce court, how finances are often handled, and what things may or may not make a difference in settlements.
The layout of this book is very easy to follow, in terms of the "125 questions every woman should ask" blurb on the front cover. It should be easy to go back to the chapter titles and skim the questions for the answers I need to re-check. And I did find myself bookmarking many pages to come back to, particularly in the sections where she discusses the practical paperwork to have on-hand before visiting the divorce coach or lawyer. She gives many sample situations in answer to the questions, so that I could see relative outcomes. And while the legal terms are a bit much to keep straight for this first-time layman in legal matters, she does a good job of explaining differences and offering a glossary at the back.
It's good, solid advice that I will be double-checking before going to any consultations to be sure I don't waste my time and money when I could have been prepared ahead of time.

I found this book to be helpful. I made several notes based upon her suggestions and knowledge. The law is complicated. I like that she empowers you to be informed and to be your own advocate!
