According to Maple Ridge financial planner Akeela Davis, 37 percent of first-time marriages in Canada end in divorce. Her addition to the Self-Counsel Press legal series is Divorce Your Dollars: Financial Planning Before, During and After Divorce (Self-Counsel Press $18.95) "In the past, divorce was a territory in which only lawyers operated,"; says Davis. "However, lawyers are schooled in law, not finance."; Divorce Your Dollars has advice on support payments, prenuptial agreements, pension buyouts and whether to keep the family home, plus tables for calculating net worth and post-divorce expenses. Davis is married with two kids and was the host of the TV show 'Money Talks.' 1-55180-430-1
