The Divorce Hacker's Guide to Untying the Knot ― What Every Woman Needs to Know About Finances, Child Custody, Lawyers, and Planning Ahead

Feelings of loss, grief, and rage are common during divorce. But one of the most debilitating feelings women going through divorce experience is paralyzing impotence. While a woman may act forcefully to protect her children during the process, she is less likely to be as vigilant about her own well-being. Sadly, many divorce professionals — lawyers, mediators, forensic accountants, and therapists — prey upon women in this situation. Enter attorney Ann Grant. She helps women take back their power by teaching them their rights concerning finances, home, children, and work life. She does this with a combination of empathy and practicality, recognizing how difficult some actions may be. Her step-by-step assessments, checklists, and to-do lists are always broken down and made manageable. Grant’s goal is to give readers what she provides her clients: Insider information that will not only make their divorce “successful” but also establish their own lives firmly and successfully on a positive, fresh new standing.

Ann Grant, JD, began her career as a corporate litigator specializing in unfair business practices and consumer fraud. After her own divorce she created her own firm, focusing on family law and a holistic approach to this life transition. She lives in Manhattan Beach, CA.
