Win Your Child Custdoy War 12th Edition. This is definitely not another hyped up child custody/divorce manual. Win Your Child Custody War, has plenty of content. The kind you go to the book store, library, internet, parent support groups, read boxes of court cases, attend legal factfinding seminars and hire the best attorney you can afford, to get. The Table of Contents and Index, list the topics covered in all the other books on child custody. Additional topics which many other parents have faced and may be useful in your case are identified and explained. The suggestions and information in the book are well thought-out and precise. Use the examples as indicators so you can watch the other parent and their cohorts for patterns of behavior signaling poor decision making that could affect you children negatively.
This book will help you guard against vicious attack whether you are a mom or a dad. A divorce and child custody chronological order relating to how events usually occur are included. Authority and precedence from family courts across the nation are listed. This is no "quick read" at a bookstore. Compare the Table of Contents of Win with any 10 other available books. If you need defense from dirty tricks, protection from your own attorney and solid information, Win Your Child Custody War will level the playing field for you. Highly recommended.

Don't be overwhelmed by this book when it arrives. It is not arranged to be read from the front cover to the back or to be read completely before you take action. Determine what is causing you the most trouble, worry or pain at this moment, look it up and take action. Then attack the next challenge you face. Knock them down one by one.

Win Your Child Custody War, 12th Edition, explains how a case may proceed. However, since no two child custody cases progress in identical patterns, the book is arranged by topic. Every major topic from PAS to International Child Abduction is covered and case law is identified. Does your case involve: grandparents, stepparents, a parent who smokes, addiction, violence, homeschooling, religious issues, breastfeeding, child abuse, CPS, visitation problems, false accusations, private investigators, kidnapping, lies and perjury, move away, child support or trying to get a level playing field?

The chapters are dense with identification of the problems we face, and workable concepts for dealing with them. The organization of this book makes it easy to find what you need and makes it easy to start working in the right direction.

I compared the Table of Contents and Index with all the other books offered and saw Win Your Child Custody War, 12th Edition was the most complete. In fact, now that I have this book, I feel that Win Your Child Custody War 12th Edition, contains more examples and options than are offered in all the other books combined. This book doesn't smooth things over or tell you what you want to hear, it tells you the way it is and what you can do about it.

I highly recommend this outstanding resource.

If you are involved in a child custody dispute, then I feel you would certainly benefit from this resouce.

It is rather expensive and long - over 750 pages. However it covers a huge amount of information. But considering the hourly rate of most divorce/custody attorneys, you will probably save the cost of the book a few times over.

As the author states, the primary audicence for this book is "the parent who is serious about winning and maintaining custody of a child. ... A child custody war rarely involves only the children and the parents."

The child custody war will more than likely be extremely expensive in terms of money and emotional scars.

The book is broken down into to 43 chapters and each chapter has an extensive listing of the topics covered in that chapter. There is a glossary of terms, an Appendix covering interesting cases and a very extensive index.

In addition to all the resources, there is some good advice in the book. All too often, custody battles are filled with emotion and it is very easy for the emotions of the parents to trump the best interest of the child. The book does a good job of pointing out the dangers of putting the children in the direct battle path between the parents.

If you are going through or will be going through a custody battle, I would highly recommend you acquire this book. I also recommend you read the book Dear Judge to fully understand the battle from the child's point of view.

I read all the reviews and carefully considered the negative comments about the first 11 editions. I ordered Win Your Child Custody War, 12th Edition. I was pleased to see all the problems had been corrected and the subjects expanded. I had exhausted all the good advice available to me and was at the point of giving up. This book made all the difference. It truly ain't over, till it's over. If you are experiencing or expecting a rough ride through the court system, you definitely need this book.

The single most important tool you will possess in your child custody ordeal. The dollars you will save by having this text are immeasurable. I discovered this book after I was already divorced and lost the battle the frist time around becuase I made every mistake under the sun. I'm lucky. I'm getting a second chance and this time I'm doing everything right and it is working. If I had the book the first time I would not be where I am today and could have saved myself and my children tremendous amounts of agony and pain not to metion much of their future college tuition. The tried and true methods and strategies outlined here are empowering and derived where the rubber meets the road at the ground level. I qualify it as a recipe book if you will for winning your custody war. So many of the things I read in Charlotte's book just jumped out at me from my own experience. She knew all the tactics and strategies that were used against me by my ex spouse and how to avoid and combat them. The attorney's have a playbook and they have been down this road many times and they now exactly how to manipulate everything in their favor. Your emotions, your assets and even your children. This is like driving down a dark road with the headlights on instead of off. I didn't realize how vicious and unsavory and malicious the process could be. I was a loving caring husband and Father and she pulled out all the stops on me and I fell for all of it. Don't be a victim like I was. This book will open your eyes and give you the road map. It is amazing how accurate and on target everything in this book is. Step by step guide to success and for less than one hour of your attorney's time.

Angry and frustrated I looked at rows of books at the book store and bought most of them. They all define the problems but don't tell you how to fix them. Win Your Child Custody War gives you real solutions to real problems. It lets you know that things can't always go your way, but there are things you can do about it. It was an big help to me. I would recommend this book to anyone with a custody problem. It is an enormous book, but small things can grow into big problems if you are not prepared. I have read the other reviews of this book and agree.

The Win Your Child Custody War book was delivered on time in new condition. No problems or difficulties encountered. I learned the most from the examples of situations other parents faced and how they handled the situations. It gave me an opportunity to judge the wisdom or foolishness of what they did. The examples of home study reports and detective reports were interesting and informative. This book is priceless and came with a free book. I have recommended this book to a number of other parents. I recommend it to you.

I am 16 years old with a younger brother and sister. When our parents decided to get a divorce I was blown away at how bad my parents were acting to each other. Grandma Beth got them each a copy of this Win Your Child Custody Wars and the Dear Judge book. It took a couple of weeks but things are allot better now. Our parents are talking better now. I think everyone should get this book is they are having a divorce. Dad always said Grandma Beth could sell anyone anything.

I attended a seminar about child custody where several speakers and organizations presenting their produces and services. I bought almost everything they offered. Charlotte Hardwick spoke about her book. Intimidated by the size of the Win Your Child Custody War manual I started with the smaller books. I learned something from each one of them. Eventually, I approached the Win book as the author suggested, starting with the Table of Contents and the Index to find the issues that were most important to me at the moment. I used the information and processes where they worked in my situation. Now that those things are under control I am able to explore other topics. I have stopped causing myself problems, feel more control and can see positive changes in my dealings with the other parent. Definitely a must read for parents and professionals.

This book was so helpful, I highly recommend it. There were so many things when reading this book that I would have never thought of. Some of the ideas help not only to make your custody case strong and understandable but it helps to create a healthy environment for your child while going through a rough time in your life. The information was very easy to read and relate to. I'm interested to read the other books written by Charlotte. Amazing!
