Sam Assini is passionate about Men's Rights, aggressively representing the interests of husbands and fathers involved in divorce and other family law matters. Having "been there" himself, he empathizes and understands what men go through and that your case is one of the most important events in your life. Often, divorce settlements leave men feeling like they are "intruders", "visitors" and/or "part-time" parents when, in fact, they are an integral part of the lives as well as the developmental stages of their children.

As the host for the Business Leader Spotlight Show, I have the opportunity to interview leading experts in various fields. In todays connected society, most people turn to the internet to get the majority of their information. Unfortunately, it has become difficult to distinguish good information from bad, because everyone can share anything online, true or false. The Business Leader Spotlight Show's goal is to be a central place where you can get valuable accurate information about the topics we cover on the show. We try to accomplish this by interviewing the best of the best, standouts in their respective areas of expertise.
When we decided to publish a book on divorce, we set out to identify the legal leaders on that subject, and interview them to get their insights on the major issues relating to divorce. Unfortunately, it's impossible to get all the information one would want to know in a 20 minute interview. Today, we have over 2,000 minutes of expert advice from the best legal minds in the area of divorce.
We wanted the best of the best divorce attorneys collaborating on this book, so we asked ten of the best divorce attorneys we interviewed to share with you their insights into what you should know before you get a divorce. I personally believe that this is the most powerful and enlightening book ever written on the subject. It is not just one lawyer's insights on divorce, but ten of the top divorce attorneys in the United States, from different regions of the country, sharing with you the fruit of their years of experience.
It is our hope that reading this book has two outcomes for you: first that you understand the process and the pitfalls that can be part of any divorce, and second, armed with this knowledge, you are able to proceed with your divorce in a way that not only allows you to achieve your goals, but to come out of your divorce with a sense that you are ready to begin a new chapter of your life. If you have children, we want you to be confident that you and your ex-spouse can nurture and care for them in a way that allows them to grow up knowing that they have two parents who love them and are willing to work together to see that they become healthy, responsible adults.
One of our authors, Katherine Miller, shared with me one of the best analogies I've heard about the divorce process. She said to imagine a ball of yarn that is made up of hundreds of different-colored strands of yarn, all tangled together. The divorce process is one of untangling and separating each strand of colored yarn until they are no longer intertwined.
Over the years you and your spouse's lives and assets become intertwined. Depending on the complexity of your family, assets, and liabilities, it can be fairly easy and straight forward to untangle your lives, or it can be very difficult, costly, and time consuming.
If you have young children in your family, you will be required to determine who has decision making rights with regards to a host of issues. These will include such things as religious education, medical treatment, and school activities.
You will also be required to determine parenting time. When does each parent get to see their children? Included in parenting time are issues such as holidays, birthdays, and any other special days of the year. Your divorce will also spell out which days each parent has the children during the month.
Your divorce will determine how much financial support each spouse is required to provide to support the children. Most states have set forth a formula that is followed by every couple getting a divorce in that state.
As with most things in life, these issues are not cut and dried. There are many factors that are taken into consideration by the courts. Included throughout this book are powerful insights into divorce law and how it can impact one's divorce. Being educated about some of these issues can help smooth the path through your divorce.
You will learn that there are three processes available to you for divorce in most states:
- • Mediation
- • Collaboration
- • Litigation
The divorce system has evolved to recognize that not every divorce is adversarial, requiring litigation. This book identifies many of the factors you must consider when choosing which process to use for your divorce. Armed with this information, you will be in a much better position to have a productive consultation with any divorce attorney that you are considering hiring.
As we compiled this book, one thing became crystal clear about the divorce lawyers included here: the amount of money they make from a divorce case is not their goal. Actually they prefer that you spend as little as possible to achieve your desired outcome. They understand that this is a highly emotional time in your life, and see their role as someone who can compassionately take you by the hand and guide you through the divorce process in a way to best achieve your goals.
