D i v o r c e affects everyone. Divorce can be painful. Divorce is often the most miserable experience that people face in life. Divorce destroys the foundation of society -family. Divorce wounds children forever. Do not give up on your marriage until you have exhausted all other remedies. 
With that being said- Divorce is not the end of the world. It may be a part of God’s plan for you to be faced with divorce. Although my parents have been married my entire life, they were each married to another person before they met one another. I would not have written this guide if my parents had not gotten a divorce. They have been married to each other for over forty years. Sometimes divorce opens us up to be happier.

This book is not a substitute for a lawyer who specializes in domestic relations and was last updated several years ago. Every person’s situation is different and laws change every day and are often open to different interpretations by lawyers and judges. Everything contained in this book may not be applicable to you. This book is written for clients, not lawyers, so specific citations to cases and statutes will be omitted.
The idea and model for this manuscript came from Larry Rice, a Memphis divorce attorney who teaches a seminar for divorce lawyers. His guide to divorce is a part of a larger book called “The Complete Guide to Divorce Practice” of which the copyright is held by the American Bar Association. These materials are modeled after Mr. Rice’s own work, and some of the practical information contained herein can be attributed to him.
