Finding a Therapist or Counselor
Finding the right counselor or therapist is not difficult. Clergy, doctors, and lawyers are professionals who may be in touch with the right people.
Community mental health agencies, family service organizations, college counseling and school services, the YMCA-YWCA, and hospital out-patient clinics are also worth a call.

Emotional Aspects of Divorce and Separation
Divorce turns life upside down because it affects every area of life. More than a marriage goes under in a divorce.

Expectations of the future, finances, self-esteem and self-confidence -- all become so much debris on the high seas of a marital breakup.

#813: If you and your spouse decide to use mediation, once reaching an agreement, it is best to each have his or her own lawyer review the agreement in draft form before signing. This way any financial and legal repercussions of an agreement may be discovered that would have otherwise been missed.
