This review is from: Real Dads Stand Up!: What Every Single Father Should Know About Child Support, Rights And Custody (Paperback)

I definitely recommend this book.I read this book about a dozen times. This book is remarkable. It has helped me in family court. I had no clue what was going on in my case and my lawyer was either getting an adjournment and not speaking up when I thought he should be saying something. He was letting the mother get away with everything at my expense. I read this book and it made a difference in my case because I learned that I had a right to visit and that my kids mother could not get in the way and continue to deny me visits with my kid. I felt armed with the right stuff after reading this book. I was also able to put my lawyer straight.

This book is a step-by-step guide that is easy to read and understand. Law and legal concepts are often confusing and hard to grasp without some legal background. Real Dads Stand Up is like a road map to manuevering the court system. This book tells you what they don't want fathers to know about family court. This book is a must read for any father who wants to get active in their childs life.

I like the sports analogies in the book. I could really relate to not knowing when to play offense or defense. I was stuck somewhere in the middle getting knocked over the head with the ball. My case got settled and my kids mother knows now that I know what should be going on in court. I was shocked after the about the third chapter when I really looked at the name on the cover and saw that this book was written by a woman. Wow! It was like she knew what she was talking about. She was standing up for fathers. I felt like I had an edge since this information was coming from an expert.

It's about time. I learned that child support is not payment to see my kid. I also learned how to deal with the child support system. Ms. Crowe is truly a gem. After reading this book I restored my faith. Having this book was like having an angel on my shoulders whenever I went to court. I learned how to fight back and organize my files and what papers I needed. I now know how to deal with the court system. I sat and read this book and could not put it down for hours. Each chapter made me get stonger.I really liked the chapter on changing a child support order. At the end of the book there are court forms that are really helpful. This books walks you through when you get served with papers all the way to what happens at the hearing and after the hearing. It took my fear away.

This book is excellent. Don't to court without it. Don't let your lawyer go to court without it. It is a life saver for any father who feels like giving up after taking a beating in court. I gave this book out as Christmas gifts to friends. It is easy to read and you can really know the law. Some lawyers need this book. If you want to advocate for your rights this book shows you how. Alicia M. Crowe really breaks down the system so that you get it. Two fathers I gave this book too were in a state of depression over not seeing their kids. One joined a local fatherhood group and got active and ultimately got empowered to help other fathers. The other won custody of his son. Both read Real Dads Stand Up and they thank me everytime they see me. Alicia M. Crowe really cares about famalies and it shows in her book. I heard about her from K-Rights radio.com. Her interview was absolutely mind blowing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good read, especially when read with another book!, December 3, 2007

'Real Dads stand up' is a good read on how to expolit the family law system to it's fullest advantage if you are a father. Another book on Amazon, FAMILY COURT HELL, goes into a real life child access case that lasted ten years and 133 court hearings-and only resolved when the father stepped outside the family law system and launched the worldwide Fathers 4 Justice protest group. Best to read both books, especially if you are going through this anti father family law system.
