I am happy I spent the money on the How to Do Your Own Divorce. It is easy to read and gives examples of all the forms you may need to use and how to fill them out. The laws regarding divorce in California are made easy to understand. Also, if there is a law you don't understand or have a question about something you can call the divorce help line for $10.00 a call and $3.50 per minute (kind of steep and I hope I don't have to use this). Once you get the book you will need to download the latest forms. If you want a cd you will have to spend another $5.00 to have it sent to you. Also, if you have a messy divorce you will need to buy a second book to get those questions answered. After looking through the book I've decided I don't have the time to do my own divorce and am going to retain a paralegal to file papers for me. In the back of the book there is a list of paralegal located throughout California. The positive is that what I have learned from this book will make my own divorce a lot easier.

I found this book to be very helpful. Don't get me wrong, California doesn't make getting a divorce easy and there will be a ton of paperwork, but this book makes it possible to get through it yourself. In particular I found the included CD to be extrodinarily useful. The process involves filling out several dozen forms. The included software automatically fills out the route form information for you and is much/much faster than typing them by hand.
