eBook: Splitting Up Together: The How-to Handbook for an AMICABLE Divorce. (immediate download)
Separating couples face the problem of information overload, the perception that the process is hard and complicated and that lawyer involvement is needed. Mullins’ AMICABLE method demonstrates the nature of the step-by-step divorce process and how simple it can be.
AMICABLE is an acronym that stands for acceptance, momentum, interests, consideration, advice, brainstorm, LEADR-to-yes and endorse. The chapters are broken down into each acronymic word, representing the stages that readers experience from making the decision to separate, right through to reaching an agreement and the steps involved to make it official. In plain English terms, readers are also guided through what the law says in general terms about parenting, financial, child support, maintenance and divorce after separation.
“I’ve made this handbook incredibly practical and simple to follow,” Mullins states. “Readers can save time and money by doing some of the work themselves with a handful of easy to complete exercises that lawyers ordinarily charge for. Although encouraged, lawyer involvement and advice is optional”.
