The Divorce Process: Empowerment Through Knowledge [Paperback]

Marlene M. Browne (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 075961718X | ISBN-13: 978-0759617186 | Publication Date: August 2001

An experienced family lawyer provides everything you need to know about divorce, separation, and annulment in thirteen cost-saving, information-packed chapters, jammed with insider-tips, proven strategies, and practical resources plus an extensive glossary. A must have, from-the-trenches manual based upon the author's years of hard-won experience, open this book to find information conveniently distilled to guide readers through the whole, world-shaking process. Each of the thirteen chapters is succinctly organized, providing concrete examples and dependable tips for the reader to implement in his/her own case.

Plus, this book deals with the current trends in divorce law ranging from new federal legislation concerning bankruptcy, taxes,pensions and the interstate collection of child support, to the "busting" or "enforcing" of prenuptial agreements, to dealing with domestic violence, and even the other "suits" within, or related to, the divorce action. These "cutting edge" issues are not even mentioned in most other books, much less addressed and explained.

"The Divorce Process: Empowerment Through Knowledge," is also an indispensable tool for those professionals (clergy, social workers, marriage counselors, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, men's/women's/children's support groups, accountants, and even less experienced lawyers), who could benefit from an insider's point of view and are in contact with divorcing people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I had had this book all those years ago..., November 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Divorce Process: Empowerment Through Knowledge (Paperback)

I found this gem of a book immensely informative. It was set out in a non-threatening way in chapters that are easy to understand and follow. All women, especially those with children, are scared and overwhelmed by the prospect of separation and having to fend for themselves in a world that thay perhaps have had little real contact with whilst being married, raising children and losing their professional "marketability". I wish I had had this book available 15 years ago when I was becoming a statiscal "single working mother"!
