  divorce financial planning checklist: The Divorce Hacker's Guide to Untying the Knot Ann E. Grant, 2018-08-20 Divorce book for women ─ Take back your power and create a new and better life What women often face in a divorce: 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.

Grant: Ann Grant, author of The Divorce Hacker’s Guide to Untying the Knot, began her career as a corporate litigator specializing in unfair business practices and consumer fraud. After her divorce, she created her own firm, focusing on family law and a holistic approach to this life transition. She lives and practices in Manhattan Beach, California. “My purpose is to help you not just survive divorce, but to obtain what you need to thrive as you begin to create your new story.” In The Divorce Hacker’s Guide to Untying the Knot, Ann Grant will help you take back your power by clarifying your 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. Take action Learn what you need to know Take back your power And, create a new and better life If you have read Divorce Poison, A Parent’s Guide to Divorce, or Putting Children First, you will want to read The Divorce Hacker’s Guide to Untying the Knot.
