How to Do Your Own Divorce in California: Everything You Need for an Uncontested Divorce of a Marriage or a Domestic Partnership How to Do Your Own Divorce in California by Ed Sherman is a required resource. It is also an incredible bargain for the information and reference to other resources it contains. For such an inherently difficult process like divorce, the chapters and steps are well organized, making the process alot easier. However, it does lack an index, which the author justifies excluding based on the time-sensitive nature of the information, and the difficulty of including it. But you can still find what you need. Be prepared to spend a lot of time studying the chapters and learning the process. I can see that some people might not have the patience for the process and run to an attorney. But if you have the patience, and don't have the money, this is the way to go! It is still difficult even with the book, but lots better than going through an attorney. The demo software (for CalSupport and DealMaker) and worksheets that come with the are also very helpful. CalSupport and DealMaker are easily downloaded for only $35 each, and are bargains for what they can do! I am still going through the process and using the book and software.

This book is complete. It gives you step by step instructions. Buy it at the start of your divorce procedings. It will help with questions you never will think of. It will save you $1000's in attorney's fees in most cases. Only the most difficult of cases (or ex spouses) may require an attorney. However, this book will still help you to ask the right questions and give you confidence (or lack of confidence) in your attorney of choice.

This book provides knowledge in an area of law most of us know nothing about. It's amazing the maze of paperwork the court system requires of you to get a divorce. GET THIS BOOK!

This is a great book if your divorce is uncontested. Good luck to all who can use it!!

Great/useful book, but CD will not open on my Mac - automatically rejects the CD, no option to navigate to it, the Mac G5 I have just kicks it back out...
