I have heard the line about spending on $200 on divorce to save legal fees only to lose thousands several times. It always come from a lawyer. This book is worth the money even if you are planning to get a lawyer. It is a simple and correct explanation of the process and the key principles of law that are involved.

For an uncontested divorce in NC, you can't beat this book. Just read it carefully and fill out the forms. It is a good step by step guide. Most lawyers charge $500 or more for an uncontested divorce.

This is not, however, a do-it-yourself book
for those with child custody issues or those where large somes of money is involved. It is still valuable reading.

Some law firms have made available NC divorce forms through the Internet. Often these are difficult to use and in some cases inaccurate. It seems the intent is to convince people that the forms and process are too complex. I don't think you ought to go into a divorce without spending some money; just start spending your money with this book and then decide what you should do.

Reasonably decent information, but this is like doing surgery on yourself - you can do it, but you might not like the results. I met a woman several years ago who saved $200 by doing her own divorce and lost a quarter million in her husband's retirement. Use at your own risk.

this book gives you all the legal information you would ever need to obtain a divorce in north carolina. definitely for a person who likes to know what they are entering into and doesn't just take a lawyer's word for it.
