Welcome to GOODdivorceBOOKS.com, an independent, online bookstore that carries
more than 100 book titles on divorce-related topics.
Why was GOODdivorceBOOKS.com created?
Divorce is complex. People involved in a divorce need good information, and
often it is not until well into the divorce process that they realize they
needed that information long ago. Most bookstores carry a limited selection of
books on divorce, but here you can find many more of the books that are
available.
Think about it in terms of cost. Divorce is expensive. If you spend $50 on
books and do some reading on the different aspects of divorce, you will have
good information and you will be better informed about the choices available.
An attorney's time costs $175 to $350 per hour. A therapist's time will average
$100-$125 per hour. By doing your homework on divorce and custody decisions,
you can better utilize the professionals expensive time and you can save
yourself a lot of money. If you have children, it can also help you on your
path to a good co-parenting relationshhip.
Books listed on GOODdivorceBOOKS.com have been have been selected for our
website because we think they provide good, solid information. We are building
our business by making sure you can find GOODBOOKS with us.

Hillary Hyde, MSW started this site after 10 years of working with divorcing
families as a divorce educator, custody evaluator and mediator. She has spent

elsewhere.

What type of books aren't included on this site?

find the books for your state at your local bookstores) and books that are
geared towards either men or women in an inflammatory and heavily biased
manner. While there can be some truths in them, they often intensify problems
more than they help.
