Leader Tells Women to Divorce Their Husbands
for Valentine's Day By Glenn Sacks February 14, 2007, Glenn Sacks E-newsletter (USA)---Feminist family law attorney Sherri Donovan, National Counsel for the National Organization for Women, is urging women to greet their husbands this Valentine's Day with the words, "Happy Valentine's Day -- Let's Get Divorced!!" In a recent press release, Donovan, of the New York City family law firm Sherri Donovan & Associates, P.C., enthuses that "Valentine's Day is the most popular time of year to seek a divorce attorney." Author of the new book Hit Him Where It Hurt$: The Take-No-Prisoners Guide to Divorce - Alimony, Custody, Child Support, Donovan says that in divorce women too often "play-nice" and end up "screwed." Donovan asserts that "the average woman experiences a forty-five percent drop in her standard of living after divorce," even though this statistic--produced by Lenore Weitzman in the mid1980s--has been discredited for over a decade, with Weitzman herself admitting her error. According to Donovan's website, Donovan
can be reached by phone at (917) 723-1163
or at (212) 431-9076, by email at donovassoc@aol.com,
or by fax at (212) 431-9596. Her press agent,
Beth Gissinger, can be reached at (508)
