James J. Sexton is a divorce lawyer who has spent his career working with couples whose marriages are dissolving. He’s learned a lot throughout the years about what sours a good marriage (or ends a relationship that’s already in trouble), and now he’s using that knowledge to help the rest of us. His new book is If You’re In My Office It’s Already Too Late: A Divorce Lawyer’s Guide to Staying Together.
