Top Divorce Expert Reveals How to
Divorce-Proof Your Marriage
SANTA CRUZ, CA—After more than 30 years of showing couples how to get easier, smoother divorces, and saving the public billions of dollars in legal fees with his do-your-own-divorce books, Ed Sherman, founder of Nolo Press and the self-help law movement now reveals how you can divorce-proof your marriage.
Knowing how effective his techniques and practical advice were for helping couples navigate the treacherous waters of divorce more smoothly and easily, Sherman realized that if he could reach couples while they were still happy and loving, and teach them those same agreement-making, conflict resolution, and negotiation skills, he could make a huge contribution toward reducing the high divorce rate in our society. That's why Sherman wrote his latest books, The Couples Contract for a Lasting Relationship for couples in any state, and Legal Essentials for California Couples for couples in California.
Although the Couples Contract can serve as a legal marital agreement, it so different from the traditional prenup that Sherman says it's like comparing a Pit Bull and a Golden Retriever. The prenup is typically a negative, money-grubbing thing designed to protect one partner from the other. With the Couples Contract you are creating a document that honors your love, supports your relationship, and makes a commitment to a lasting marriage.
The Couples Contract enables you to divorce-proof your marriage by:
- Making a commitment to a lasting relationship based upon mutual affection, respect and friendship
- Building successful problem-solving into your relationship
- Putting a safety net under your relationship that will forever keep you out of divorce court
- Reducing the fear of commitment and marriage
- Providing optional financial clauses that allow you to tailor your financial relationships in a positive, loving and constructive way
No matter what type of relationship you're in—married, getting married, or living together—you can enjoy the many benefits of creating your own Couples Contract. It's easy to do when you follow the instructions in the book and use the template on the CD that is included.
