Virtually every man I know who has been through a divorce, no matter how amicable, feels violated by the process. The family court system seems to be so biased against men and fathers in favor of women and mothers. Yet family law attorney Joseph Cordell argues that men often make stupid decisions in the midst of the divorce process that create long term problems. In The Ten Stupidest Mistakes Men Make When Facing Divorce, Cordell shares with his readers those mistakes which, with a little planning and forethought, can be avoided.

Peppered with stories of men who make these stupid mistakes, Cordell has put into one short and simple to read volume concise and easy advice for avoiding these common pitfalls. From moving out first to neglecting the children to being badly prepared for the legal process, The Ten Stupidest Mistakes lays out a clear path for men to follow in the family law process. Things like posting negative comments about your estranged wife or her family on Facebook can be a huge problem down the road. Every family law attorney representing men in the divorce process should read and ask their clients to read this book right at the outset. Simply because we are uninformed about the process, we tend to make mistakes that we might not even see.

The advice is practical and able to be implemented with a little thought. The strategies for making the best of a traumatic situation can be followed as the husband and the attorney work together. And at the end of the process, by following a few simple guidelines, the result can be more positive than it would be otherwise.

If you find yourself in this very tough spot, get this book and read it carefully before making the final decision. It will help you think through the process and make smarter decisions at every step along the way.
