Reviews

"A Parent's Guide to Divorce is such an amazing resource for parents who are going through or about to go through a divorce. Having been through a divorce 11 years ago with two young children, I would have LOVED a book like this. Karen's book offers practical strategies to plan ahead for the most important aspects of divorcing and co-parenting and provides a realness and understanding of the emotions because she has been through this herself. That is who you want to learn from. I highly recommend this book to any parents co-parenting or about to co-parent. Your children didn't choose this and still deserve a happy childhood, and you can make that happen. This book will help!"--Julie Ciardi, host of the Divorced Mommy Podcast

"A Parent's Guide To Divorce is a valuable guide to navigating the divorce process from a child-centered perspective, but understands the challenges that parents face individually at such an emotional and turbulent time. The writer draws on her own experience of the divorce world both professionally and personally to show the reader that it is possible for children to thrive after their parents' divorce and form healthy, happy relationships into adulthood."--Uncoupled LTD

"A Parent's Guide to Divorce will help you minimize the negative impact of divorce while maximizing the process of healing. This must-have guide should never leave your side if you want to navigate the rocky shoals of divorce in the healthiest way possible."--Douglas Comstock, author of The Mental Toughness Advantage
