ATLANTA —

When you say those “I do’s,” the last thing you’re thinking about is divorce. But it happens. In case it does, a local celebrity divorce attorney has written a book that will let you know what to expect and hopefully make the process a lot less painful.

“It’s explained in a very simple way. Not a lot of legalistic terms,” Attorney Randy Kessler told Channel 2′s Tom Jones.

Kessler has spent the last 15 years writing a book he hopes will help you navigate through the end of your nuptials.

He said most people have no idea what to expect when they’re planning to file for divorce.

“When you’re deciding, ‘Do I want to get away from him?’ you have to know what that means. And this starts to help you understand what that means,” Kessler said.

Kessler has served as counsel for some of Atlanta’s biggest celebrities, representing the spouses of Usher and Evander Holyfield, to representing Ne Ne Leakes. He’s made appearances on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Kessler said while some think divorce is a bad word, he begs to differ.

“Divorce is the fix. It’s the breakup of the relationship that’s the bad thing,” Kessler told Jones. Kessler recalled a client who took his divorce to trial and wore a tuxedo every day. ”On the last day of the trial the judge just had to ask, ‘Sir, I got to ask, why are you wearing a Tuxedo? He said, ‘You know, I got married in it. Might as well get divorced in it,’” Kessler said.

The name of the book is “Divorce: Protect Yourself, Your Kids and Your Future.” Kessler said it’s 120 pages of information that may help you save some cash.

“How are you going to survive? What do you need to live on? How much time should you each spend with the children?” Kessler said are some of the topics his book touches on.

Kessler hopes that after reading his book anyone planning to go through a divorce won’t feel so lost.

He offers this tip to save money: Negotiate the terms of the divorce with your soon-to-be former spouse and avoid going to court.

Also, he said, lose the anger.

“Because the way things get expensive and complicated is people act on anger,” Kessler said.

You can find Kessler’s book on Amazon.com.

New book tells clients what to expect in a divorce

Family law attorney Randy Kessler says clients in troubled marriages often are frightened and confused when they see a lawyer for the first time. Added to all of the emotional stress, they’re now dealing with what may be to them the mysterious world of divorce law. And they are right to be concerned, he says, calling a divorce for most people “the most important business and personal transaction for the rest of your life.”

Kessler is known for representing high-profile clients in show business and sports, but he notes that he has represented many average people since starting his Atlanta firm after graduating from Emory Law in 1988. Invariably, people feel better about the divorce process once they gain an understanding of what lies ahead, he says.

With that in mind, Kessler has self-published a 129-page softcover book, “Divorce: Protect yourself, your kids, and your future.”

The book was long in the making. Kessler says he started it more than 15 years ago, rewrote it over several years and then shelved it because he didn’t think it was good enough. Two years ago he picked up the project again, and this time sought input from friends and colleagues while he continued to edit and rewrite. Finally, he says he realized he “could keep editing it forever.”

“My wife designed the cover about a year ago, and that motivated me to finish it. Also, once my year as chair of the family law sections of the ABA and of the Georgia Bar was done, I needed a project to fill the extra time I had, and this was it.”

The book starts with a chapter on how to find the right lawyer and continues with chapters that explain mediation, discovery, trials (the last resort, the book says), child custody and support, alimony, division of property and decisions that should be made before filing for divorce.

Ever careful, Kessler starts the book with a disclaimer: Get your own lawyer. The book is not a substitute for legal advice.

Kessler has picked up big-name praise for the book. Nancy Grace, whose television show frequently features Kessler as a guest, plugs the book on the front cover. Former Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears appears on the back cover recommending the book.

The book has a cover price of $16 and is available from www.divorceprotect.com
