Synopses & Reviews
Healing Hearts was written to suggest healthy alternatives -- mediation, counseling, and communication -- to the adversarial system parents are thrust into when they initiate a divorce. In particular, Healing Hearts is designed to help parents work out what the courts don't -- a co-parenting relationship where the child's best interest comes first. The authors combine consolation for the heart with practical and legal advice in chapters on shared parenting, domestic violence, redefining the family, and finances after divorce.
By utilizing the advice, legal documents, financial forms, and parenting agreements found in this book, divorcing parents may not only save thousands of dollars often spent battling in court but also make win-win choices that benefit each family member. The goal of Healing Hearts is to enable parents to establish two households where children can be comfortable, two homes where they are loved.
