Best Divorce Resources


All of us at Compass Divorce Center have spent many of our summer days enjoying vacations filled with time at the lakes, the beach, hiking, and biking. And when we haven't been vacationing, we have been researching exciting topics for our clients such as: collaborative divorce, co-parenting, language of divorce, books for kids and adults. As a result, this month's blog brings you a "Best Of" list for your own use. Click on the title to take at further look at Amazon.com and maybe you'll find some other "Bests" along the way. If so, we'd love to hear about them at compassdivorce@gmail.com

These are some pretty good resources to look at if a divorce is in your future. I would also recommend you talk to friends and colleagues and see if they have any advice.
