- "Often we see a couple who has separated or divorced and look with sadness at the ‘failure’ of their relationship. But if both people learned what they were meant to learn, then that relationship was a success."
- Marianne Williamson
"There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won’t anymore, and who always will. So don’t worry about people from your past, there’s a reason they didn’t make it to your future."- Adam Lindsay Gordon

Alison’s Divorce Toolbox
This is where I’ve collected several resources for readers.
For people new to Divorce, I suggest you read: So You’re Getting a Divorce: Three Steps For a Smooth Start.
You might also like my 12 Steps for Divorce, which originally ran in the Huffington Post Divorce section.
Also see Legal Articles and Information, which has information about choosing the right legal path, and general guidelines for when to file for divorce or a court hearing.
And finally, for those seeking emotional support, please visit Inspirational Essays, Poems, and Other Resources.
I will update the toolbox periodically with new articles and resources, so keep coming back.
