5.0 out of 5 stars Really a great book for laypersons and attorneys, February 16, 2003

This review is from: The Divorce Handbook (Paperback)

I'm a family law attorney in California. This book really is great. It answers a lot of questions that I get asked everyday. It has great advice on custody, visitation, court procedure, and how to pick (and fire) and attorney. Great for those who are doing it on their own, or for those who have an attorney. A great book to read prior to interviewing a divorce attorney. Good Job!

This review is from: The Divorce Handbook (Paperback)

I was disappointed when I found that the latest publication date fot the Divorce Handbook was 1984. Imagine Amazon touting a 27-year-old book! Thank God I only lost about six bucks.
Material very, very basic.

The delivery was timely and item received in good order.
