How to Get Divorced as a Stay at Home Parent - Paperback

by Olivia Dreizen Howell (Author), Jenny Dreizen (Author)

You're ready to leave-but you don't have a paycheck, savings, or a clear starting point. This is the guide that meets you exactly where you are.

How to Get Divorced as a Stay-at-Home Parent is the compassionate, step-by-step roadmap designed specifically for full-time caregivers who want to end their marriage but feel financially stuck. Written by experts who have lived it and supported hundreds through it, this guide offers non-legal, real-world support-without shame or overwhelm.

Inside, you'll find:

✔️ Budget-friendly ways to file for divorce (including how to apply for legal aid, fee waivers, and self-representation)

✔️ Scripts for tough conversations-from talking to your spouse, friends, and family, to explaining things to your kids

✔️ Emotional validation and self-care strategies for burnt-out parents who've done it all for everyone else

✔️ Checklists and worksheets for budgeting, gathering documents, tracking legal steps, and planning your next chapter

✔️ Meal planning and financial survival tools for when you're parenting on $0

✔️ Free and low-cost support resources, including housing help, SNAP, and support groups

✔️ A post-divorce reset section for building a new life, finding income, and creating goals after the paperwork ends

This book is not legal advice-it's a lifeline. If you've been up late Googling "how to get divorced with no income" or asking strangers in Facebook groups what to do next, this is your answer.

You don't need money to reclaim your freedom.

You just need a plan-and this book is it.
