Accessing power for the rest of your life

Origins of the book:

A worldwide epidemic threatens the perpetuation of marriage. The divorce rate in the US is 50%, and it’s even higher for second marriages. The image is now iconic in our society: The divorced among us, fused to their resentment, have become indistinguishable from their pain. In fact, pain is now the persona, and it may well remain so for many years to come, wrecking families, individuals and relationships. People Magazine and US Weekly are filled with celebrity divorce news. But is the suffering of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger unique? Is the anger between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards unusual? The courtroom experience of Judge Michele F. Lowrance says no. In fact, Judge Lowrance finds that the agony and pain of divorce are universal, no matter the tax bracket, and no matter the profile of the divorcing couple. Even more chilling, this pain is inherited in families, and passed on from generation to generation. Statistics say that over 60% of the children of this epidemic don’t plan to marry, and two-thirds of those children don’t plan to have children.

Why this Book?

After many years as a divorce attorney and family court judge, Lowrance has pioneered a new strategy for getting through the divorce process intact. The premise of this book? The American court system was not built to house or process the violent emotions unleashed by divorce. Attorneys are not trained to reduce the attendant suffering of their divorcing clients and families, and judges have a limited toolkit of remedies. Divorcing couples embark on this frightful journey, believing that the court will deliver justice, and that justice will deliver peace. Most discover somewhere during the process that they are achingly, horribly, alone. This book is the insurance policy against having the kind of divorce you always feared, while showing you how to protect yourself, your children, your finances, your soul, and your psyche.
