Anger traps us in the past, hindering our recovery and our journey towards emotional detachment from the marriage. Reese Witherspoon's reflections on her own divorce remind us why it's crucial to leave bitterness behind.

"There are things in my life that are hard to reconcile, like divorce. Sometimes it is very difficult to make sense of how it could possibly happen. Laying blame is so easy. I don’t have time for hate or negativity in my life. There’s no room for it."

Chapter 5 – Your Children Come First: Making a Success of Shared Parenting

“Listen to your children attentively if they ask you why you and your ex decided to separate, and reassure them that you understand why they want to know. Tell them that divorce is very common but don’t discuss the reasons for the separation in too much detail. Make certain they understand that the divorce is in no way their fault, then move on to another topic of conversation reasonably quickly or engage them in an activity.”

Chapter 8 – Domestic Violence – How to Protect Yourself and Your Family

“Keep, and also make copies of, all digital and ‘hard copy’ communications from your ex (or from anyone who has contacted you on his behalf) that cause you to be concerned that you, a member of your family, or a pet may be at risk of physical harm. Should it become necessary for you to contact the police or to apply to a court for a protection order, the copies of these communications may constitute compelling evidence of the risk posed by your ex.”

'GIRL vs DIVORCE: A Woman's Guide to Justice in Divorce and Meeting the Challenges of Post Divorce Life' by Ken Harrip.

GIRL vs DIVORCE has been written specifically for women going through, or recovering from, a separation or divorce – but also for those women who continue to face challenges and difficulties arising out of their divorce long into the future.

After the breakdown of a marriage, not all women receive a just and equitable share of the marital assets. Nor, if applicable, are they all paid the level of child support or spousal maintenance (variously known as spousal support or alimony) to which they are legally entitled. To put it another way, some women receive an unjust divorce settlement. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including the deliberate contravention of their legal and human rights by their ex-husband.

Injustice in divorce settlements is a prevalent and ongoing problem that afflicts the lives of far too many women. GIRL vs DIVORCE is intended to help readers prevent or redress unjust outcomes by providing them with concise, easy to read information designed to maximise their prospects of obtaining justice in the settlement of all divorce-related legal issues.

In addition, the book provides women with tried-and-true strategies by which they can relieve their distress during the divorce process and meet the practical challenges and lifestyle changes that divorce generally gives rise to – and, in so doing, help them to enjoy the highest standard of living and quality of life post-divorce as their circumstances allow.

GIRL vs DIVORCE also deals with the unique legal complications and practical challenges potentially faced by same-sex couples going through a divorce.

As noted on the back cover, GIRL vs DIVORCE has been specifically designed to benefit women across a range of countries and jurisdictions, including Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada.
