Excerpt from Chapter 2
One of the most difficult questions a person can face is: Should I get a divorce? This chapter explores the key emotional, financial, and legal considerations involved in making this life-changing decision.
For some, the choice is clear; for others, uncertainty can make it difficult to move forward. Discernment counseling—a short-term process designed to help couples determine whether to stay or separate—can be a useful tool when struggling with this question.
