Does divorce have to break a family completely, or can a family emerge from a split in a restructured form that is healthy and hopeful? Similar to debt restructure in bankruptcy, restructuring a life can be painful, uncertain, promising, challenging, and ultimately either provide a new framework for a satisfying life OR lead down to a path of destruction. Viability is determined not by the decision to restructure, but by the careful planning and steps taken after the decision has been made.
