From the Book: Divorce Amicably
This is a chapter summary from Chapter 5 of Divorce Amicably, a guide to navigating separation with dignity and cooperation.
Chapter 5 Author: Jeanette Soltys
After spending 15 years as a divorce litigator and seeing how the court process tears many clients apart mentally and financially, Jeanette became determined to create a more positive divorce experience for clients. This led to her founding Atlanta Holistic Family Law, where Jeanette and her team prioritize non-litigation tools for clients to have a lower stress divorce and preserve their co-parenting relationship.
Summary from Chapter 5
When we think about divorce, financial concerns often dominate our thoughts—attorney fees, court costs, asset division. However, Jeanette Soltys reveals that the true cost of divorce extends far beyond money. This eye-opening chapter explores the emotional toll, strained relationships, loss of privacy, and time investment that traditional divorces demand from couples and families caught in the process.
Rather than leaving readers in despair, Soltys introduces a powerful alternative: The Amicable Divorce Process. This approach minimizes conflict, preserves relationships, and protects privacy while helping couples move forward with dignity. By choosing collaboration over combat, divorcing couples can significantly reduce the hidden costs that often leave lasting damage.
