Can any divorce really be civilized? Veteran lawyer Sam Margulies believes there are practical and less stressful ways to go about divorcing your spouse and he has put together a comprehensive guide for men in his book A Man’s Guide to a Civilized Divorce: How to Divorce with Grace, a Little Class, and a Lot of Common Sense.

Margulies’ goal is to destroy the myth that men have only two options when it comes to divorce: “go to war,” or “get taken to the cleaners.” In his book he leads men step by step through the divorce process and provides a guide for any man who wants to keep his honor while avoiding useless wars.
