Even well-intentioned subject matter experts (i.e., divorce lawyers) often fail to provide a solution that

We view divorce as an event. As if one day you announce, “I’m getting a divorce,” and the next day, your marriage is over. The truth is, it’s a journey. It’s a process. It’s a method by which you transition out of your marriage and re-prioritize your relationships, especially your relationship with yourself. Sometimes, there is still love.
