Twenty years ago, Divorce Magazine’s co-founders started with a vision of a world where divorcing people could use the experience to grow as human beings, to support each other in co-parenting their children, and to end their marriages with kindness and compassion. Diana sees the new Divorce School as the next step in fulfilling this vision.
