    Keeping Our Heads When Others Are Losing Theirs

    Attorney, mediator, and collaborative divorce coach, Marcy Jones, educates her readers regarding all aspects of obtaining a divorce without losing your mind. "Graceful Divorce Solutions" offers multiple vehicles for learning "how to" get a divorce that works well for all people involved, including children.

    Because this time in a distressed couple's life can be vexed, like riding a never-ending roller-coaster, guidance and correct information are vital to skillfully negotiate the labyrinth called our legal system. And yet, when your life feels upside down, the last thing you feel like doing is learning how to work with the ins and outs of a truly upside down legal system.

    Marcy Jones's book serves as free legal counsel and offers you room to explore your own questions, needs and fears in this wholly accessible guide. One of the best ways to steel yourself for what's to come and boost your self-confidence is to find out about the laws that apply to divorce and the legal processes involved in getting a divorce.

    Prior to becoming a collaborative attorney, Jones, herself, survived working with our archaic legal system in going through her own divorce. Both her husband and past bosses were practicing attorneys who frequently used an adversarial approach to "solve" disagreements. The word "collaborative" was rarely used or thought of positively and would certainly prove less profitable for the firm. There seemed to always be a "winner" and a "loser" in the court of law, according to Jones. For most, that's just the way the system rolls.

    Wading through the swamp of the legal system on one's own becomes less and less desirable. There's no doubt that people need experienced guidance. Jones offers her readers exactly this kind of help. She shares not only useful information on collaborative divorce but also on the current practices inside family divorce law. As such, through writing exercises and useful summaries in each chapter, she helps readers decide which way they may want to go.

    One Marcy Jones's favorite slogans that she uses more than a few times in her book is "Knowledge is Power." There is no doubt that "Graceful Divorce Solutions" is equal to several empowering consultations with a wise divorce coach, family counselor and one who knows the "ins and outs" of the current legal system. Jones gives divorcing couples, and those who care about creating a peaceful end to their marriage, practical support that they will not get anywhere else, certainly not for free.

    "Graceful Divorce Solutions" will enable any spouse to bypass the truly awful, adversarial process of the courts and find a collaborative result that will surely leave each member part of a humane, compassionate and viable future.

    New Book Offers a Kinder, Gentler Divorce for Everyone Involved

    "Graceful Divorce Solutions" by Marcy Jones fulfills its subtitle's promise to save you "Time, Money, and Your Sanity." As a lawyer, Jones realized the need for people to understand their options when divorcing, and for lawyers to understand the emotional components of a divorce. Jones decided to practice family law so she could look for ways to fix a broken legal system not created for or conducive to dealing with family issues.

    Jones thoroughly explains why the legal system should not be involved in most divorce cases, including that law was designed for criminal issues and to settle disputes between people who had done business together but who would not have long-term relationships afterward. By contrast, when two spouses divorce who have children, they remain a family and need to communicate with each other on a regular basis. The legal system's way of turning a husband and wife against each other is not conducive to ongoing communication between the couple after the divorce, and especially not beneficial to the children's welfare.

    Jones became a practitioner of family law in hopes to find a better way for families to go through divorce. Following her own divorce, Jones went back to school to become a lawyer. While initially, she didn't know what legal difference she could make, she realized her goals should be two-fold, namely to:

    . first, change the way lawyers think about and handle divorces
    . second, get honest, reliable information to the clients about their options so they can be actively involved in their own divorce process

    When Jones heard about collaborative divorce, she thought she had found her answer. This process allows for a couple to divorce without having to go to court while their lawyers work with them, rather than against one another, to bring about a settlement that both parties find acceptable. When Jones discussed this new process with her legal coworkers, however, she found resistance from them:

    When I went to the senior partner at the firm I was in at the time to ask whether I could go to a two-day basic training in collaborative practice, he looked at the information and responded, "This isn't practicing law." In his mind, if you weren't preparing to go to court, you weren't practicing law. If you weren't preparing for court, then you must be afraid to go to court and fight the fight, which is, after all, what lawyers are trained to do!

    Precisely because lawyers are taught to fight in court, a procedure that can result in spouses turning against each other and children being caught in the middle, Jones was determined to seek a different approach. Despite opposition from colleagues, she has gone on to practice collaborative divorce successfully with her clients. Jones feels the clincher that makes the collaborative divorce process most effective is that "the couple agreed from the outset not to go to court. When the threat of 'going to court' is taken out of the picture, it changes the whole dynamic."

    At the end of "Graceful Divorce Solutions," Jones shows her first thought is for the client, even at the risk of lost book sales, because she asks readers to pass the book on to others so they can also learn about and benefit from collaborative divorce. She hopes she has done her small part to bring about resolution rather than conflict when a marriage must end. Because I think she has, I highly recommend "Graceful Divorce Solutions" to anyone facing a divorce situation.
