Thinking about divorce? Dealing with the fallout of a spouse who wants to divorce? Seeking information on whether/how to divorce? Helping support a friend or family member going through divorce? Divorce has touched the lives of many, and everyone has advice to give - - some good, and some wildly inaccurate. The goal of the Divorce Resource Center is to provide clarity to those who are navigating divorce and family issues. Divorce is always the last resort. Our goal is to help you divorce without destroying your family or finances, or to help you back away from divorce (if this is what both spouses desire). Fear of the unknown is paralyzing, and information is empowering.
