“How to Marry a Millionaire” is a fantasy of romance and happiness. How to Divorce a Millionaire is a real life story and a practical guide to help you when the fantasy dies. The motivation for this book is what I learned living through my relationship and marriage to an alcoholic and then my divorce. It applies whether you’re divorcing a millionaire or a working class hero. This is my true story. I hope at times it will make you laugh, and at times it might make you cry.

My education as to what is good representation came as a result of my third and final attorney, who is a Judge Pro Tem for Family Law in San Francisco.
