“You can waste vast amounts of money by hiring the wrong lawyer while engaging in a high conflict divorce. Newman shows people the playbook and provides real tactics for breaking up in a more humane fashion.” —Alec Baldwin, actor, producer, New York Times bestselling author

The definitive guide to navigating divorce in today’s world from one of America’s top matrimonial lawyers.

Marriage as we know it in America has changed—and so, too, has divorce. Women are outearning men. Fathers are winning custody battles. Same-sex marriage is law. In this remarkably insightful and clear guide, elite New York City divorce attorney Jacqueline Newman shares her secrets from over two decades in the trenches. This book will help you:

-Decide whether you are actually ready to get a divorce
-Protect your finances and understand division of assets
-Find the right lawyer for your situation
-Win the child custody schedule you want
-Heal and stay sane in the midst of a disorienting time

Over the course of her career, Newman has implemented her strategies and coached her clients round the clock on how to navigate every aspect of their divorces. Now, in this landmark book, she offers the same tools and tactics to you. Newman also shines a light on the divorce industry where specialists of the trade financially benefit from drawn-out, high conflict cases. “Divorce,” she says, “can be simple, even if it is not amicable.”

Filled with hard-earned wisdom and a touch of humor, The New Rules of Divorce is an essential read for anyone looking to emerge from their breakup stronger, happier, and secure.

Excellent read- great advice

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2020

Jacqueline does a great job giving the ins and outs of the divorce process throughout this book, all while keeping you entertained. It is witty and fun to read, but also provides excellent advice for anyone contemplating divorce, or even anyone with a general interest in the process. You will put down the book knowing what to expect if you do decide to divorce, and ready to approach it with a strategy and a lot less anxiety. Whether you are happily married, unhappily married, or already divorced, this read will keep you engaged and provide invaluable advice.

Up-to-Date and Comprehensive Divorce Guide!

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2020

Knowing that in my teaching career I had to review a wide array of non-fiction books, a busy friend of mine asked me to help him find a good divorce guide. This one immediately jumped out at me because it’s current and it’s written by an attorney expert.

I found this book to be a helpful, refreshing and insightful read. Right off Ms. Newman states that perhaps a divorce is not the answer; that her book does not replace meeting with an attorney, and that she dispenses no BS. (Aside: Author sometimes uses salty language for emphasis.)

This book’s stated goal is to help the reader end a marriage humanely and economically. It does this in twelve chapters which are each called “Secrets”. The book’s beginning is succinct yet very thorough in covering the self-examination, self-care, financial and documentation questions which arise when one is contemplating a divorce.

The book lives up to its title of “New Rules” as Ms. Newman frequently interweaves historical fact (with citations) and her legal experiences when it comes to marriage and divorce. She reviews how times and court rulings have changed over the past several years.

Early chapters include information on how to choose an attorney and differences between mediation, litigation and collaborative law models. Later chapters cover child support, custody and financial issues, and negotiation money formulas. Timing and living single are also addressed. At 250 pages, ‘The New Rules of Divorce’ is digestible yet comprehensive in its coverage of the topic.

I have no reservations in recommending this book. I think that it is just what my friend is looking for. And although this book is aimed at more affluent couples, anyone contemplating divorce would value from reading it.

Empowering Advice For Any Relationship Status

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2020

The New Rules of Divorce is what you need if you want to be fully prepared for the future. Divorce is certainly something we don't expect, but you can at least get through it while keeping your sanity. This book breaks down step by step how to get through the divorce process. One of the most important sections is if you actually need a divorce. All too often issues come down to communication. Men and women are from the same planet, but we are constantly barraged with societal norms that almost want strife in a relationship. There's no reason two people living in the same home shouldn't know the other person, but as time goes on, and people change, it's almost like your partner is speaking another language. Sometimes something as simple as putting your ego aside and going to therapy can create the spark you were missing. Or at the least confirm you are done with the relationship, and you are less clouded by emotion. This book has 12 secrets, and they are incredibly insightful. A lot of fear comes from the unknown. Whether you're married, or plan to be, I highly recommend this book. There's no reason to feel alone or not understood.

Divorce can be messy, expensive, and so scary! This book is like a roadmap for everything you could possibly deal with, along with support. Jacqueline Newman is a successful New York lawyer, and while there are a few things that vary by state, the advice here knows no bounds. The tone is no-nonsense, but extremely helpful. Want a lawyer like her? She gives you advice on how to find one as well.

Takes us on a journey of the practicalities of divorce

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2020

In ‘The New Rules of Divorce’, Jacqueline Newman takes us on a journey of the practicalities of divorce, especially for divorces where there are large assets. I wish I had read this book prior to my own divorce as I learned not only about the many emotional tolls that divorce brings up, but also the complex financial, legal, and ethical issues can be overwhelming. In this book, I appreciated Newman’s sense of humor as it helps take some of the bite off of the tragedy that divorce can be. At first, I wondered why Newman didn’t spend a lot of time on lower-asset divorce, but I came to understand that that kind of divorce (like my own) truly isn’t as complex as a high-asset divorce.
What I also really appreciated about Newman’s down-to-earth writing was that she was straight-up and honest to her approaches. As I mentioned before, I wish I had had this book before or during my divorce process as I made mistakes, and I think this book would have helped me save money. I honor that Newman gives us inside knowledge about judges, lawyers, and the court in general. Her writing style is easy to follow and even entertaining. Newman really understands divorce and it shows. I also acknowledge and appreciate that Newman is an experienced divorce lawyer who tells it like it is. I highly recommend this book for those considering divorce and recommend reading it before contacting a lawyer.
