Articles in Divorce:
 

Sometimes, even the best marriage fails, despite counseling, therapy, intervention from friends and all your effort. Not all the books, movies and advice columns in the world can help keep your marriage together when it's time to call it quits. While we can't get you back together or file the papers for you, we can help you through the pain and confusion of separation and divorce with information from authors, therapists, lawyers, counselors and other experts. You'll find the advice you need on issues like what to tell the kids, custody sharing, coping with a difficult ex as parent, easing the transition for your family, how to protect your family finances, putting together a fair separation agreement and how to know if and when you're ready to date again, coping with holidays. We'll also help with more serious problems like cheating, emotional abuse, physical abuse, depression and the nasty games spouses play when it's time to say goodbye.
