As we learn more and more about the imperfections of the Family Court system, we find that the usual do your own divorce books just don't work for most of us. If you've used other such books and been frustrated because your case wasn't following the "ideal" path they described, then this book is for you! You should have this even if you are planning to hire a lawyer. You'll learn how to choose and work with a lawyer, how to spot a good/bad one. If you already got divorced, but a new issue is stirring, or you're having problems with your ex, you'll learn how to make changes-step by step. Robin uses clear, detailed, easy to read examples and a sense of humor to help you through one of life's biggest stresses. Includes all the forms you need (saving you time and money tracking them down) I could have saved thousands of dollars in attorney's fees by having this book and the knowledge it gives during my divorce. Knowledge is power, do yourself a favor!

Attorney Robin Yeamans -- who has a fantastic record as a trial attorney in family law -- has penned the ultimate guide for people going through contested divorces in California. Yeamans arms her readers with all the information they need to get through the legal process, from start to finish. I have used Yeaman's book as a reference many times, in investigating the California courts, and I highly recommend it to any litigant who wants to stay on top of his or her case, whether or not the person has a lawyer...
