what every woman needs to know about finances, child custody, lawyers, and planning ahead

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. Sadly, many divorce professionals - lawyers, mediators, forensic accountants, and therapists - prey upon women who are dealing with this life-changing experience. Enter family law attorney Ann E. 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.
