LANDING ON YOUR FEET gives you the basic legal information you need to work better with your lawyer.
You can talk to your friends who’ve been divorced but their situation might be nothing like yours.
You can do research on the internet but most posts have snippets of information, nothing in depth.
You can read a book, but then there is not one to ask questions of.
You can hire (and often should) lawyer or mediator – but you’ll be paying them by the hour to educate you about the law.

“Divorce seemed like an insurmountable life change. Joy’s course helped make all the details more manageable. Divorce still isn’t easy but the class helped me shed the feeling of being stuck as the victim and instead feel empowered to do the work to move forward on my own terms. ”
J.R.“Having someone walk you through each step makes the whole process less intimidating and more approachable.”
J.S“Finding Joy Rosenthal was a gift from heaven because knowledge is power. Joy is very conscientious, she follows through on promises, supplies material, and works hard to explain the process. It is the most important course you can take if faced with a divorce and are not a lawyer yourself. I can talk to my divorce lawyer with knowledge and not waste money.”
