About the book
Your marriage is ending, or you're wondering if it should. Either way, you're about to make some of the most consequential decisions of your life.
Too many men make those decisions angry, rushed, and badly informed. Some mistakes cost tens of thousands of dollars. Some cost time with your kids. Some just make you look like a moron.
The Dignified Dude's Guide to Divorce is written by a divorce mediator and attorney, in a voice that's funny and plain-spoken instead of lecturing and full of jargon. It takes you from deciding whether divorce is really the answer, through understanding the legal issues, getting the right help, and finalizing a deal that works for you and your kids, to building a life worth having on the other side. All while staying a decent human being when every instinct says otherwise.
It won't replace a lawyer. But it can help you spend less, fight less, and avoid the mistakes many men only learn about after they've made them.

Early praise
"Finally, a divorce guide for men that's funny, plain-spoken, and full of information that actually matters. If there's a brother, friend, or son in your life going through a divorce, buy him this book."
Who it's for
This book is written primarily for men going through a divorce. But if you're a woman ending a marriage, or you're helping someone who is, it's for you too. The legal basics, the money questions, and the advice on handling your spouse, your kids, and your own worst instincts apply to anyone getting divorced. It covers general legal concepts that apply across the country, since divorce law varies by state.
