This Nolo Press book is a very basic, extremely helpful and well-organized overview of the mediation/collaboration process. The questionnaires are straightforward and help to simplify some initial decisions. However, I had hoped for more information and advice on negotiating a somewhat more complex financial situation, especially for couples without children. For that, I recommend : Divorce & Money: Everything You Need to Know About Dividing Property and The Complete Guide to Protecting Your Financial Security When Getting a Divorce

Divorce Without Court contains simple headings, icons, worksheets, and highlighted text in such a way that the text is easy to follow. Some headings present questions – that are answered in the text, others give do’s and do nots, while other headings give clear directions for the reader to follow. One example of how the text clarifies the issues of divorce is the “Tell It Like It Is: A Vocabulary of Emotions” chart. This helps the reader clarify language for the intended audience. For example, the emotions listed include nostalgic, inconsolable, miserable, hysterical, and bereft. This level of detail about every aspect of divorce follows throughout the book. Stoner makes the text clear and understandable through adept use of language. Headings likewise are short and clear. Readers – whether they hire an attorney or not – will find this text useful.
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)
Divorce Without Court. . . if only there could be divorce without lawyers. . . . Until we get there, we have Nolo’s second edition of Divorce Without Court: a Guide To Mediation & Collaborative Divorce. As someone who was married almost 30 years and went through the life-in-the-blender experience of an acrimonious divorce, I am wholeheartedly in favor of the concepts espoused in this book. However, if you have a contentious situation, you need a more conventional approach. The chapter on deciding whether to mediate or collaborate is excellent, even if it just helps you choose neither. The questions really make you think about your particular situation, and they are very thorough. This is an incredible resource and a great companion to their other book: Nolo’s Essential Guide To Divorce. If you read both, you’ll get an excellent education on what to realistically expect, whatever route you choose.
