Synopsis

War or Peace is a must-read for anyone contemplating divorce. Everyone has heard the horror stories; few know the sure-fire way to avoid them. In War or Peace, Joryn Jenkins, a 34-year trial attorney, describes how personal choices impact how marriages end: with dignity and self-respect, or with hatred and virtual bloodshed. This book illustrates how to avoid the lasting effects of the destruction caused by the divorce court process. Joryn reveals the alternatives, recounting actual events as she witnessed them unfold, both the divorce wars fought in the courtroom, as well as the peaceful divorces negotiated at the conference table.
