After 30 Years of Keeping Divorcing Couples Out of Court, Top Attorney Reveals a Negotiation Playbook
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, January 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Emotionally Savvy Divorce: Smart Negotiations for a Clean Break Launches Today with Battle-Tested Strategies for One of Life's Highest-Stakes Negotiations
At a time when the average contested divorce costs $20,000 and takes 12-18 months of emotional warfare, veteran family law attorney and mediator Katherine Miller is releasing the strategic negotiation guide she wishes every divorcing person had from day one: The Emotionally Savvy Divorce: Smart Negotiations for a Clean Break.
Drawing from over 30 years of experience in family law, mediation, and conflict resolution, Miller offers a revolutionary approach to ending a marriage with clarity, dignity, and emotional intelligence. With personal insight from her own divorce and professional wisdom from thousands of client cases, The Emotionally Savvy Divorce reframes divorce not as a failure—but as a life transition that can be navigated with compassion and strength.
“Divorce isn’t just a legal process,” says Miller. “It’s an emotional reckoning. This book is here to help people move through that experience without destroying themselves—or each other—in the process.”
The book covers:
-Why emotional intelligence is just as important as legal strategy
-How to recognize when a relationship is beyond repair
-Practical tools for navigating conflict, co-parenting, and decision-making
-What it means to divorce with dignity—even when it’s messy
With chapters on topics like boundaries, blame, and rebuilding identity, Miller equips readers with tools for one of life’s most misunderstood transitions.
Miller is the founder of Miller Law Group in New York, director at the Center for Understanding in Conflict, and host of the Divorce Dialogues podcast. She’s been featured on the Today Show, quoted in The New York Times, Money Magazine, and Yahoo News, and is known for blending legal expertise with emotional clarity.
The Emotionally Savvy Divorce is available now in paperback, eBook, and audiobook formats via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and independent booksellers nationwide.
Why This Matters Now
With divorce rates holding steady and adversarial litigation remaining the default for most couples, the emotional and financial cost continues to devastate families. Miller has spent her career building an alternative path through collaborative divorce and mediation—keeping couples out of court and helping them negotiate outcomes that actually work for everyone involved, especially children.
Her clients consistently report better outcomes, lower costs, and preserved relationships with their former spouses. Now, she's making that expertise accessible to anyone facing divorce, whether they're working with an attorney, mediator, or trying to navigate the process on their own.
