Divorced from Justice:
A Wake-Up Call for Women
In her powerful exposé Divorced from Justice, investigative journalist Karen Winner uncovers the disturbing truth about how women are often mistreated in divorce proceedings across the U.S. With rigorous research and real-life case studies, Winner paints a compelling picture of a judicial system deeply in need of reform.
A System Stacked
Against Women
Since Divorced From Justice was written, nothing much has changed for women in divorce court. While across America politicians have been speaking from soap boxes about the sanctity of family and the necessity of protecting our children, a full-fledged assault has been underway for decades against women and children right in our American divorce courts.

Why This Book Still Matters
Karen Winner is updating her groundbreaking 1996 book, , but the original edition remains as relevant as ever. The core issues she exposed—secrecy and a lack of transparency in the divorce courts—have not changed. The system continues to operate as a “black hole of secrecy” that traps women and children, making her original work a crucial read for understanding the ongoing challenges.
Karen winner sounds the alarm for women to go into divorce proceedings armed and ready.
Following are a few points that every divorcing woman must know before entering an attorney’s office:
- Do not sign anything you don’t understand completely.
- If in doubt, get a second opinion from a legal expert.
- Learn your rights and educate yourself on divorce laws in your state, and your legal and financial status.
- Select an attorney through careful research, screening and background checks
At a time when over half of American marriages end in divorce, Divorced from Justice highlights the urgent need for accountability and structural change within the family court system.
This book has not become outdated. It is still both a startling revelation and a survival guide for women navigating a broken legal landscape.
