Moving beyond the typical practical guide to divorce, Don’t Screw Up Your Divorce dives deep into the topic of Emotional Preparation, acknowledging the profound emotional upheaval that comes with divorce. Chloe Oudiz delves into the complexities of emotionally uncoupling from your spouse, understanding both of your conflict styles and building a vision for your future life. Through relatable examples drawn from her clients’ experiences, readers will find reassurance that their feelings—whether of anger, sadness, guilt, or fear—are valid and manageable. Don’t Screw Up Your Divorce also explores how to build emotional resilience, lean on support networks, and practice self-care during a time when it is easy to feel overwhelmed and depleted.

The second essential ingredient to preparing to divorce, according to Chloe Oudiz, is Mindset Preparation. As she guides her readers through a shift in perspectives, she helps them redefining what success looks like in the context of their divorce.

The book is filled with expert tips and insights designed to help readers avoid common mistakes and develop a sense of empowerment and control over their situation.

On the more practical side, Don’t Screw Up Your Divorce tackles Logistical Preparation with a clear and structured approach. From gathering financial documents to understanding property division options and selecting the right professionals, Chloe Oudiz breaks down the often-complex divorce process into manageable steps. Because it is jurisdiction-agnostic, this book is relevant for readers anywhere in the world. The author has included additional guidance for international couples, on issues such as tax and immigration, addressing jurisdictional challenges, and ensuring agreements are recognized across different legal systems. The logistical preparation guidance equips readers with the knowledge they need to manage the technical aspects of divorce effectively, reducing stress and avoiding costly mistakes.

This book is more than just a guide to divorce—it is a companion for one of life’s most difficult journeys, offering tools, strategies, and insights to help readers start their divorce on the right footing and enter the process with their eyes wide open.
