A Calmer Divorce Doesn’t Mean Giving In.
Holistic Divorce
A Calmer, Smarter Way to End Your Marriage Without Falling Apart, Going Broke, or Messing Up Your Kids
by Jeanette Soltys, Esq.
Attorney | Mediator | Advocate for Families
Divorce doesn’t have to become a war.
Ending a marriage is difficult enough without turning it into a years-long legal battle that drains your bank account, damages your relationship with your children, and leaves everyone emotionally exhausted.
In Holistic Divorce, family law attorney Jeanette Soltys offers a different way forward—one that looks at the entire picture: your legal rights, your finances, your children, your emotional well-being, and the life you want to build when the divorce is over.
Drawing on twenty years of experience in family law, Jeanette explains how to make smart decisions without letting fear, anger, or the traditional adversarial divorce system take over.
A calmer divorce isn’t about giving in. It’s about knowing what matters, and making decisions that protect your future.
You’ll learn how to
- Choose the right divorce process for your family
- Know when to compromise, and when not to
- Protect your finances without creating unnecessary conflict
- Keep your children out of the middle
- Avoid common decisions that make divorce longer and more expensive
- Move toward your next chapter with clarity and confidence

Early reader
Jeanette understands something that gets lost too easily in divorce: the goal is not to win every fight. It is to make good decisions about the things that will still matter when the case is over.

This book is packed with genuinely useful information, presented in clear, digestible sections without getting bogged down in detail that can be overwhelming.
Kelly Prichett
Legal editor
Jeanette helps clients not only understand the legal mechanics of divorce, but the human element of surviving a divorce in an impersonal legal system. This is hard-earned wisdom and her book is full of jewels that reflect the actual lived process of divorce, and not just mechanism.
