Celebrity Divorce Attorney Writes A Divorce Book For Everyone

Jockeying for control is at the heart of most contentious divorces, whether it is the stars of Hollywood or the average fan who watches them on T.V. 

Stacy D. Phillips, celebrity divorce attorney and Certified Family Law Specialist, expands on her insights about relationships and divorce in her first book, "Divorce, It's All About Control: How to Win the Emotional, Psychological And Legal Wars."

"Most relationships dissolve due to a struggle over control in one or more of what I term 'The Big Six' categories," the Los Angeles divorce lawyer explains. "I've yet to handle a divorce where control was not an issue or at issue."

Although her divorce clients include high net-worth individuals, professional athletes, television and film personalities, musicians, successful business professionals, and their spouses, the power of Stacy Phillips' book is the universal application of her insights. This is a book for anyone:

• Men or women currently involved in the divorce process
• People who are already divorced
• Any person who is considering filing for divorce
• Anyone experiencing the break-up of an intimate relationship

Each chapter of "Divorce, It's All About Control: How to Win the Emotional, Psychological And Legal Wars" begins with hypothetical legal situations. She then offers divorce advice on how to handle each scenario. Each chapter also includes a personalized "pop quiz" for the reader to evaluate his or her position in each of the control wars, with suggested courses of action to establish control.

"I think there is a real need for books like this, books that examine and try to explain the psychological warfare that attends so many divorces. Stacy Phillips has done wonderful work here, and this book will no doubt be useful to many readers." Writer's Digest Book Awards
