Divorce: How to Help Yourself and Your Finances - (Financial Intelligence) Kirsten writes:

I highly recommend this book if you are struggling to make sense of anything finance and divorce related. ‘Divorce: How to help yourself and your finances (Financial Intelligence)' is by Sarah Pennells, a freelance writer who regularly reports on consumer and finance issues for BBC and writes a column in the magazine 'Moneywise.' 

It's a great book, necessarily serious yet 'easy' to read for a complex subject matter and some great contributors (well, I am biased, I was one of them along with some highly regarded lawyers and financial experts) I don't know anything else quite like it: relatively jargon free, highly practical.

Here's what the publisher ACBlack writes:

"Divorce is not only becoming more common, it is becoming more complicated too. Unravelling joint finances can be a major headache and there is often uncertainty - on both sides - about what each party may be entitled to.  

This book offers anyone contemplating divorce a practical, step-by-step guide to what they can expect. It will include important issues such as: key milestones in the divorce process; how to work out what your assets are worth; what happens to joint debts; how to keep divorce costs to a minimum; what to do if you own a business jointly.
