The Emotionally Savvy Divorce: Smart Negotiations for a Clean Break
Divorce is legal, emotional, and financial. Navigate all three with clarity and purpose.
In The Emotionally Savvy Divorce, veteran divorce attorney and mediator Katherine Miller challenges the idea that you must shut down your feelings to make smart choices. Drawing on decades of experience, real-life scenarios, and negotiation strategies adapted from law, business, and conflict resolution, she shows how emotions can be a source of clarity and strength—not confusion or chaos.
You’ll learn how to:
- Work with your emotions instead of pushing them aside
- Make values-driven decisions, even under stress
- Reframe conflict and shift unproductive dynamics
- Negotiate agreements that protect your dignity, future, and peace of mind
Whether you’re considering divorce, in the middle of it, or rebuilding after it, this book offers a grounded and empowering path forward.

More Praise for the Book:
“I can't count the number of times I've heard people say, ‘Treat your divorce like a business deal.’ I personally think that's impossible, given all the emotions that go with getting divorced—anger, fear, resentment, anxiety, and sadness. I realized while reading The Emotionally Savvy Divorce that author and divorce attorney Katherine Miller strongly agrees. Miller's book is absolutely one of the most helpful divorce books I've read.
The veteran divorce attorney, mediator, and leader in the divorce industry took her 30+ years of practicing divorce law and created a guidebook on what to expect—and how to break down your emotions to make the best possible decisions so you can have an outcome that’s right for you and your children.
What I loved most were the dozens of stories Miller told. Most divorce books offer advice and tips. This one offers those things through authentic, vulnerable examples of divorcing couples, which makes the reader feel heard, validated, and understood—not judged.
The Emotionally Savvy Divorce is a combination of legal and emotional advice that starts when you're just considering divorce and carries you all the way through—and beyond. I truly wish this book had been written while I was going through my own divorce. I know I would have had a better outcome and a more peaceful post-divorce life. Most importantly, my ex and I would have been better co-parents—which would have made life easier for our children. Thank you, Katherine, for this truly wonderful read.”
