The following are a few that I think might be helpful. **[Your Divorce Handbook:](https://yourdivorcehandbook.co.uk/buy-the-book/)** It’s What You Do Next That Counts As far as we know, this book is one of a kind, having been written by 6 divorce professionals, each writing 2 chapters about their own area of expertise. Susan Leigh writes as a counsellor and hypnotherapist about the emotional side of divorce, her chapters book ending the handbook. Marcia Lister is a mediator and discusses how this area can help to resolve areas of disagreement without going down a legal route. Family solicitors Carole Nettleton and Katie McCann discuss the legal aspects of divorce. Daniel Bell writes about housing and mortgages in divorce. Finally, my chapters concentrate on the financial separation of assets in divorce and planning your future life. We believe this is a go to handbook for those thinking about of going through divorce. **[Separating with Children 101](https://bathpublishing.com/products/separating-with-children-101-3rd-edition):** The third edition of this guide to divorcing with children answers all your questions. Numerous divorce professionals have contributed to it, including some very well-known names in the field. I doubt there is a stone left unturned! If you have a question, there is bound to be an answer in this guide. Edited by Only Mums Only Dads’ Rebecca Giraud and Bob Grieg, who have also edited Jo O’Sullivan’s book (Almost) Anything but Family Court, which guides those wishing to avoid the enormous backlogs in the family courts at the moment and settle things amicably. **[Divorcing a Narcissist](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Divorcing-Narcissist-lure-loss-law/dp/191630236X)**: The Lure, The Loss and The Law Written by former GP and leading expert in Narcissism, Dr Supriya McKenna, and family lawyer, Karin Walker, this book is widely considered to be the leading guide on divorcing someone displaying the behaviours of someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
