Reviews

[John Rossitto · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a surface summary of important topics on divorce planning. Offers brief reviews of numerous important topics. The title will catch the attention of its intended audience but in-depth content is wanting. The major take away would be to compile a divorce team of field experts and let those experts provide specifics. As I was looking for more detail, found the book average and disconcerting when repeated told to further pursue Divorce: Think Financially Not Emotionally. That is what I thought the book was about. I would surmise that to gain further specifics, one would have to enroll in a course perhaps offered by the author.

I appreciated this book, because it brings some key ideas together, but did not go nearly deep enough for my questions. A good starting point, but I would have liked to drill down further.
