Divorce Magazine Launches Southern Florida Edition

North America's only magazine devoted to the subject of divorce has arrived in the Sunshine State. Divorce Magazine -- an acclaimed, self-help quarterly publication already available in five other U.S. states (CA, IL, NJ, NY, and TX) as well as Canada -- will be available in the Miami to West Palm Beach areas starting on December 8. To see a full-size image of the premier cover, click on the small cover (left).

"We decided to launch a Florida edition for a couple of reasons," says Dan Couvrette, publisher and co-founder of Divorce Magazine. "First, Floridians have been requesting their own edition since we published our first issue in 1996; and second, with about 84,600 divorces a year, Florida has one of the highest divorce rates in the country." Florida's divorce rate stands at about 5.3 per 1,000 population; the national average is currently 4.0.

Now in its eighth year, Divorce Magazine features practical advice and information for people at any stage of the divorce process -- whether they’re considering, undergoing, or have already completed their divorce. From mental and physical health to new relationships, from legal and financial issues to redecorating a new home, the articles cover everything that's on people's minds when they go through this traumatic, life-changing period.

Articles in the premier Florida edition include:

• An exclusive interview with Debbie Ford, author of the bestselling Spiritual Divorce
• An introduction to how property division works
• Advice to help you avoid the common financial pitfalls of divorce
• How to learn from your relationship mistakes -- and avoid repeating them
• Understanding and coping with children's reactions to divorce
• Tips to help you start remodeling or redecorating your home
• Answers to the most common questions about separation and divorce by local experts
• A guide to local resources and support groups for adults and children

There is also an exclusive column by John Gray, Ph.D., author of the bestselling Mars and Venus books, and an advice column by renowned sex and relationship therapist Dr. Pat Love.

The magazine and its affiliated 100,000-plus page website, http://www.divorcemag.com/, also offer a wide variety of divorce-related resources for readers. The first Florida issue includes a special 32-page section with information on dozens of divorce professionals (including lawyers, accountants, and financial planners) in the Miami to West Palm Beach areas, as well as state-specific legal and financial articles.
