Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
... the authors cut through the stilted language and esoteric procedures of the law, straightforwardly communicating valuable information for people going through a divorce ... it is designed as a "quick reference." The authors supply ample information that is not New York specific ... there are too many valuable nuggets of information useful for out-of-state mediators not to include this on their bookshelf. -- Mediation News, Academy of Family Mediators; Summer 1997
In one of the most user-friendly formats I have seen, it offers a step-by-step guide for couple coming to terms emotionally with the reality of their impending separation ... Step by thoughtful step, the reader is led through the process of the friendly divorce. I can't think of a single issue that isn't covered in great detail ... In fact, the book does such a comprehensive job of guiding folks through the process by themselves, it just might put mediators out of business ... Buy this book! -- Mediation News; Spring 1997
Steven L. Abel, S. W. Whicher and M. Arden Hauer have produced a much-needed guide for couples who are divorcing-a guide that walks them through the entire process ... Scattered throughout the book are friendly words of practical advice, such as considerations in parenting arrangements in light of developmental stages of children, as well as arcane ways to use the Internal Revenue Code to one's advantage. Checklists appear along the way ... These checklists and exercises should be powerful tools for empowering couples to take charge of their own solutions. -- Council News, Family & Divorce Mediation Council of Greater New York; Winter 1997
The most subtle and unusual benefit of the Guidebook is in how it lays the groundwork for a good climate for negotiations ... the Guidebook is easy to understand but respectful, upbeat, and full of good humor without being inappropriate or sophomoric. It mainly provides facts and resources for the nuts and bolts of divorce, but it presents them in a sensitive manner with a positive approach. -- Divorce NY; Jan/Feb 1997

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic, I felt empowered and less emotional. Great book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Friendly Divorce Guidebook for New York: Planning, Negotiating and Filing Your Divorce (Paperback)
This book held me to the facts. The forms and charts helped me to fill in the blanks at my own pace and therefore the whole process of divorce was much less overwhelming. I still needed professional help at times, but I was educated and prepared for such times. Great book for a difficult change in life.
