As many of you know, my recently released book, "An Elephant Doesn't Marry A Giraffe - Everything I Learned As A Divorce Attorney", has received critical acclaim, from verified purchasers, as reflected in the effusive five-star reviews posted by its readers.


Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of doing a podcast with Professor Leslie Garfield Tenzer, a distinguished Professor of Law at Pace University's Haub School of Law. During the podcast Professor Garfield-Tenzer and I discussed my book, as well as many of the core principles included therein such as when to consult with a divorce attorney, how to hire the best attorney for your case, how to avoid the critical mistakes which undermine your divorce case and how to move past your divorce in a healthy way.

It is not unusual for prospective clients to come to a divorce consultation with certain fixed expectations and goals. Frequently, these goals and expectations have been shaped by advice from previously consulted divorce attorneys; research done on the internet, or its latest reiteration advice from an Ai Chatbot; or the "ultimate" and most "frequently utilized" source of divorce advice - the war stories and tales from your divorced friends, neighbors, bartenders, hairdressers or relatives about their own cases.


Each of the above categories has its own flaws, weaknesses and fallacies. Previously consulted divorce attorneys may have tailored their advice and explanations based upon what the prospective client wanted to hear or their own individual goal of being retained by that potential client. The internet and Ai Chatbots are a veritable roulette wheel of advice, both bad and good. And the cautionary tales from every Tom, Dick, Harry, Alice and Mary about their divorce cases, based upon a host of variables, including the particular facts of their cases, the attorneys and the judges involved in their matters and the individual foibles of these parties, are hardly a reliable template.


So where should the prospective client start from? I believe it starts with the fundamental notion that there is no such thing as "winning your divorce case". After all, what's winning? I got one more dollar than you did, or I ended up with more square footage or more time with the children than you got? The reality is that you can't win your divorce case. You can only survive it. The best you can expect from a divorce case is to be able to get past it with your sanity, integrity, personhood, financial independence and important relationships intact. That should be your primary goal, around which everything else should be assessed - including the attorney you hire, your settlement positions and how you move on with your life after the divorce case is over.


One of the best resources for learning how to "survive your divorce" is to start with my recently published book, "An Elephant Doesn't Marry A Giraffe - Everything I Learned As A Divorce Attorney." It is filled with invaluable information, derived from actual true cases, which illustrate everything you need to know. The near unanimous five-star reviews of the book from verified purchasers have been effusive and overwhelming. Three versions of the book, (Hardcopy, Paperback and Ebook), can be found in the Amazon Book Store. To view the books and select your favorite version from Amazon you can use this link. You can also find the Ebook and Paperback versions on the Barnes and Noble site, using this Barnes and Noble link as well as Apple Ebooks and Draft2Digital from this link.


Ultimately, insuring that your ex-spouse rots in hell for all eternity is neither achievable nor cost effective. Instead, focus on those things that will allow you to move forward in a healthy and financially secure manner at the conclusion of your divorce.



 
 


During my many years as a Divorce Attorney I found that the people who came to my office for a divorce consultation fell into two broad categories. One was comprised of the people who knew they wanted a divorce and often said "it had been coming for years." They were there to gather information so that they could construct a detailed divorce plan before announcing their intentions to their spouse.


The other group was made up of people who had little to no idea that a divorce was in the offing, said "they were shocked and blindsided," and claimed that the divorce "came out of nowhere." This group of people have no divorce plan in place and frequently have no idea where to start or how to get the critical information they need.


My recently released book, "An Elephant Doesn't Marry A Giraffe - Everything I Learned As A Divorce Attorney", is the first place to turn when you hear the words "I want a divorce." It is filled with invaluable information, tips, and strategies. This book is intended to help those people in the latter category who are in need of help and direction at a critical juncture in their lives. It is currently available on Amazon, in digital, paperback and hardcover formats, as well as Barnes & Noble, and Google Books.


What is unique about this book on divorce is that its invaluable advice does not come from dry, solemn pronouncements or preachy sermons but rather from a multitude of true, compelling stories which dramatically illustrate, in practical terms, what divorcing spouses need to know and how to avoid the critical mistakes which undermine their cases.


Filled with meaningful advice from a front-line soldier of the divorce wars – a successful veteran divorce attorney - the book is designed to help divorcing parties and their attorneys achieve the best possible outcomes in their divorce cases. Some of the areas covered in the book are:

  • when to consult with a divorce attorney

  • how to select the best divorce attorney for your case

  • what to tell and not tell your divorce attorney

  • what are the costs of divorce, both emotionally and financially

  • what are the key mistakes which divorcing parties need to avoid

  • how to move past your divorce in a healthy way.

In the final analysis, all of the stories and advice will better prepare people for the life-altering experience that is divorce, as well as life after divorce.
