Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

An intensive look at the key financial issues that affect the three-quarters of American families that are "nontraditional." The majority of today's households are headed up by single parents, step-parents, grandparents, same-sex parents, adoptive parents, divorced parents. This book-with its unique user-friendly design-addresses the major financial and legal concerns that nontraditional families have in common and provides explicit strategies for coping with these issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars If your family is different, this book is for you., September 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: New Families, New Finances: Money Skills for Today's Nontraditional Families (Paperback)
Many of the non-traditional families in our society feel left out then it comes to money books. Most of us aren't in the 10% or so of families with a father working and a mother at home. This book gives tax info and other good advice for this kind of family--the one with two earners, blended families, even same sex families.

I liked the charts which summarized the info for each family type, with specific details on what to do.
