How to Survive a Texas Divorce Without Losing Everything You Have

Oct. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- Famous Divorce Attorney Reveals Secrets for Protecting Your Assets

The worst thing you can do is to run to a divorce lawyer without any preparation first, and just ask for a divorce. Minimize conflict and protect your assets by becoming informed about the divorce process, says attorney Ed Sherman, author of "How to Do Your Own Divorce in Texas".

“If one spouse gets an attorney, the other one probably will too. Now you have twice the expense, with two attorneys fighting in court in an adversarial legal system,” says Sherman. Instead, there are steps you can take to work things out with your spouse so you can divorce without giving everything you have to divorce lawyers. Sherman tells you how in his free Guide to a Better Divorce—available at http://www.NoloDivorce.com.

Once you learn how to negotiate with your spouse to agree on how you will divide up your assets and debts, all that’s left in your divorce is some red tape and paperwork to file your Texas divorce forms. Sherman guides you through the entire process in "How to Do Your Own Divorce in Texas"—a complete kit for an uncontested divorce.

The book provides the practical legal advice, court forms and step-by-step instructions required to make an uncontested divorce as easy and painless as possible.  

Currently in its 12th edition, "How to Do Your Own Divorce in Texas" has helped Texans save millions of dollars in legal fees since the first edition was published. This latest edition, updated for 2009 - 2011, contains current court forms, both in the book as tear-out documents, on the included CD so you can fill them out on your computer. The book is available at http://www.NoloDivorce.com/TX/TX.html.

About Nolo Press Occidental

Since 1971, the leading publisher of self-help law books
Nolo Press was started by two Legal Aid lawyers who were fed up with the fact that the average person couldn’t find affordable legal information and advice. Convinced that Americans should have direct access to their own legal system, and certain that the average American can handle routine legal problems without hiring an attorney, they began writing plain-English law books for non-lawyers. Today, they operate two separate and independent Nolo Press companies: our own Nolo Press Occidental, located in Santa Cruz, and Nolo Press in Berkeley. Together, the two Nolos publish more than 140 books, software, legal forms, audio and video tapes. We are proud that Nolo products have helped more people take care of their legal matters than any lawyer or law firm in history.
