Jacqueline Newman, one of the country's top divorce lawyers, has seen it all--from a couple fighting over iguana custody to prenuptial agreements featuring cryptocurrency--nothing shocks her. And if she's learned one thing from all this experience, it's this: protect yourself and worry about being nice later. Newman delivers the truth in a calm, therapeutic voice and is on your side both emotionally and in the courtroom. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience handling complex, high-stakes matrimonial cases and citing the latest research, Newman shatters old myths and provides an insider's toolkit for a humane, economical, and savvy way to end a marriage."
