How to Move on with Your Life without Losing Everything
Divorce is the intersection of everything we hold dear in life: love, sex, money, and children. When those are threatened, people get angry. Logical and reasoned decision-making spirals to power plays and finger-pointing, and open warfare. Without a clear head, divorce is a lose-lose for everyone except the lawyers.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Family law attorney Raiford Palmer has helped clients find a faster, more peaceful, less costly alternative to “World War III” divorce cases. Unfortunately, the vast majority of divorce lawyers (and their willing clients who don’t know better) fight it out, at great expense to the divorcing spouses.

In I Just Want This Done, Raif guides successful professionals, business owners, and entrepreneurs through the divorce process, from filing through resolution. With step-by-step advice, practical tips, and never-do-at-any-cost warnings, I Just Want This Done teaches: What matters and what doesn’t in divorce How to know if reconciliation is possible or not How typical legal advice risks everything How to choose the right divorce lawyer How to be a smart client The 22 myths most people believe about divorce Your 3 case resolution options What the “meta case”
