New Book Offers Best Practices on Ending Your Marriage Without Losing Your Money, Kids and Mind
Family lawyer Raiford Dalton Palmer writes a must-read for those deciding to split
Longtime Chicago-area family law attorney Raiford Dalton Palmer’s new book, which just hit shelves and is now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, offers those contemplating or going through a divorce sound tips on how to alleviate the emotional toll of a marital dissolution and stay focused on what matters most: the kids, your money and your mental health. A first of its kind, the book explores best practices in divorce offering helpful tips drawn from real-life stories.
In his first book “I Just Want This Done: How Smart Successful People Get Divorced Without Losing Their Kids, Money and Minds,” Palmer relies on his more than two decades of experience in family law to explain how people getting a divorce can avoid unnecessary costly legal strategies and finalize their divorce without hurting their emotional or financial wellbeing.
He notes in the book, which is available in hardcover, paperback and in all e-book formats, that drawn-out legal fights are never good for the people getting divorced. He outlines a simple way for people ending their marriage to do a cost-benefit analysis of their legal strategy as well as describes tactics they should avoid entirely. He also gives step-by-step advice and practical tips on choosing the right attorney, selecting the best process for a divorce, protecting their careers and business interests, and minimizing the costs of divorce.
Palmer says he decided to write “I Just Want This Done” after searching for a book just like it during his more than 20 years practicing family law. With more than 300 pages of text, he shares the best advice he’s gleaned from resolving hundreds of divorce cases by sharing real-life stories—the same advice he says he would give his best friend if he were getting a divorce. Palmer also candidly tells the story of his own divorce and how he and his first wife avoided an expensive and emotionally draining legal battle – and how the reader can do the same.
