Divorce, Empowerment, and Attorneys: What You Need to Know (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983631026)

This is the third edition of a book that came out originally under the title, You Can Do This! Divorce, Empowerment, and Attorneys-What You Need to Know, a primer by Nadine Larsson. Now revised and expanded, this book continues to be a refreshingly honest memoir about surviving divorce. Divorce, Empowerment, and Attorneys-What You Need to Know shares the tools Ms. Larsson used to heal and thrive in her life. Packed with useful tips on how not to get screwed over in a divorce (hint: pick your attorney very carefully), the author also shares her experiences with bodywork and her discoveries about replenishing the psyche and honoring the soul. Writer's Digest had this to say about Ms. Larsson's second edition: "The writing is compelling with this author's inner strength and her honesty in discussing the ways of life and human nature in adhering to one of these basic tenets, generously shares her wisdom in the pages of this well-organized book, displaying an inspiring courage in the face of a divorce. Ms. Larsson presents her personal story and observations in a way that should inspire in ways that can only benefit any woman willing to make the leap of faith and accept and follow her example in any area of life's endeavors. The writing is clear and concise so as to be accessible to the experienced reader of such books also while remaining wholly accessible to newcomers." Other comments: "Many women live their lives walking on egg shells, waiting for the next 'misstep' that gets them belittled, insulted, or worse. Nadine Larsson speaks up for all of us who have found ourselves in places of danger and vulnerability in our own homes. I love how she has transformed her home, and her life, into one of deep spiritual meaning and beauty!" C. Simpson.

I wish I had read this book while I was going through divorce. It would have saved me countless pain and sorrow as I tried to come through my divorce on my own. I am still fighting creditors looking for my ex-husband. I did not know at the time I needed to take my name off all the joint accounts. Bless you Nadine for trying to get this information into the hands of women going through divorce and separation." M. Holbrook And, from the second edition: "From the tears and sorrow in the beginning to the triumph in the end....full of wonderful information, thoughts, emotions, and practicality that we can identify with. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for information on how to thrive over adversity. It's a powerful story of courage and tenacity, especially for anyone moving from surviving to thriving." Carol Barbeau, www.carolbarbeau.com. Why is it that many attorneys seem to be less than candid and complete with their clients? Does it almost seem sometimes as though everything has been decided in some back room and the client is just a pawn in a never ending game of office or inter-office politics amongst an elite group? This book helps you to take control of your destiny. It may be only stopping and saying, enough, I want to understand this now. Per Ms. Larsson, in retrospect, "there seemed to be a 'don't ask, don't tell' conversation going on between my attorney, my husband's attorney, and the judge. Who was really protecting my interests?" Find out how you can protect your own interests, how you can ask better questions--how you can better protect yourself from yourself. Especially if you have suffered from low self-esteem or if you have experienced even one incident of domestic violence, Divorce, Empowerment, and Attorneys-What You Need to Know will be helpful to you. Learn how to ask the right questions. The credit you save may be your own.
