As a divorce mediator, I’m always on the lookout for resources that can inspire my clients to approach their divorce with dignity and cooperation. One book that truly stands out is Our Happy Divorce by Nikki DeBartolo and Ben Heldfond. It’s a heartfelt and inspiring story about co-parents navigating divorce to prioritize what matters most—their son.

Why Scott Levin Recommends Our Happy Divorce to Families Going Through Divorce

In my mediation practice, I emphasize communication, creative solutions, and keeping children’s needs at the center of the process. Our Happy Divorce beautifully captures these principles. My interview with Ben Heldfond is also a good way to learn more.

It shows how Nikki and Ben became partners in co-parenting, proving that divorce doesn’t have to be a battle if you take control. So many of my clients have followed this healthier, more positive way forward.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone going through a divorce. It is especially helpful for parents who want to work together in co-parenting. It’s a powerful reminder that even in challenging times, families can find peace and thrive. If you’re looking for inspiration for a healthy co-parenting journey, Our Happy Divorce is a great book to read.
