A dramatic and instructive account of how a marriage met doom in the courts which kept the parties captive for ten years. Simultaneously they begged for the mediation process as an alternative means of settlement likely within ten days.

Written largely in day-by-day journal style.

Mediation--a valuable alternative,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ten Years or Ten Days : A Saga of Litigation and Mediation to Become Unmarried, Separated, or Reconciled (Paperback)
This book contrasts the path of a domestic relations case through the legal system with all of the never-ending maneuverings of counsel, and the resultant agony and heartache on the part of the parties with what could have happened with the common sense negotiation conducted by a mediator. It is one of the few books on the subject of mediation which provides a human side of the process rather than, as with most treatments of the subject, a how-to guide to conducting a mediation. A very interesting work.

well-written, engaging narrative of "divorce war",
By A Customer
This review is from: Ten Years or Ten Days : A Saga of Litigation and Mediation to Become Unmarried, Separated, or Reconciled (Paperback)
Dr. Stein has accurately portrayed the path to all-out war that so frequently characterizes the reality that is American-style divorce. At a time when mediation has gained momentum as a viable legal option, it is tragic that so many couples fail to avail themselves of the resources available to help them to avoid adversarial litigation. This would be a valuable addition to library collections intended to serve the public and a compelling read for any person caught up in the divorce process.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Life during and after divorce,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ten Years or Ten Days : A Saga of Litigation and Mediation to Become Unmarried, Separated, or Reconciled (Paperback)
Informative book on dealing with the ending of what was thought to be a lifelong commitment. When two people cry out for mediation, but to the deaf ears of attorneys and judges. A gasping trip toward the epitaph endings on how courts and mediation work.
