MORE ADVANCE PRAISE
"Mindy Roberts's book is a must read for anyone with children who is
in the initial stages of a separation, currently separated, or divorced,
or even those who are engaged in high-conflict co-parenting. Mindy's
take on what to expect and how to realistically manage these
situations by keeping your eyes on the prize—happy, healthy,
adjusted children—will help keep you sane and smiling. The marker
of success is not how we handle things when they are working, it's
how we handle things when they fall apart. You are not alone, and
keeping this handy book beside you will help you find the success
you're looking for—no matter how hopeless you might think things
may be!"
Diane Holcombe, RN, Life and Wellness Coach
Supporting You Through Transitions (http://www.clarifyyou.com)
"Mindy Roberts's 42 Rules for Divorcing with Children is an honest
and thoughtful book on a difficult and painful topic. It's chock full of
humor and insightful advice on how to divorce with dignity and grace,
while doing the best by your children to build a better life going forward
for the family that was and is to come.
Mindy's advice and information are also helpful for family members
who are on the sidelines of those going through the process and those
evaluating their current relationships.
What especially resonated with me was the repeating message to
release resentment and move forward with empathy and hope. To me,
that acknowledges all the seething mess of bad feelings and
encourages channeling it into refocusing on the life you want to live
forward."
Jeanne-Marie Jasko

42 Rules for
Divorcing with Children
A Practical Approach to Dealing with Divorce, Child Custody, and
Life As A Single Parent
by Melinda L. Roberts
42 Rules for Divorcing With Children offers practical ways to manage a healthy divorce, build a better team in two houses, minimize stress and anxiety on all fronts, and construct relationships with open and consistent communication.
In this book you will learn:
- What putting the children first really means.
- How to preserve marital assets for you and your children.
- How to set reasonable ground rules for the divorce and going forward.
- How to set a respectful communication example so that you can divorce with dignity.
Use this book as objective advice, refer to it often, share it with others, use it as a reality check, and realize that divorce is not linear and that damage is not permanent or irreparable. If you do this well, the other parent will always be in your life. Find a way to make that tolerable for everyone, because no matter where you go or what you do, your children are tethered to both of you in an incredibly delicate and important way. Learn to accommodate each other as a gift to your children while they grow. Set good examples that will help them make their own relationship choices wisely by drawing on your positive experience. And for you, know that someday, somewhere, you will almost certainly find a partner with whom you can have a mutually respectful, loving, and responsible relationship.
This book will help divorcing parents in some simple ways that I wish I’d been helped as I stumbled my way through divorce with kids. I’m amazed at how well my Ex and I have been able to manage it and am constantly told by others that ours is an exemplary model for managing post-divorce life for our children and ourselves. Share others’ success stories for simple, practical advice and insights. See how taking care of yourself will help you take care of your family. This book will help prevent divorce remorse and divided loyalties. This distillation of what I have learned from my own experience and from watching others either succeed wildly or fail spectacularly at divorcing with children is what I call Divorcing with Tenderness, Grace and Dignity. Or, failing that, with Sanity, Self-respect, and Solvency.
