Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Based upon interviews with judges, lawyers, and divorced persons in California, and data collected from that state's court dockets, this volume presents the first systematic examination of the social and economic effects of divorce law reform. Sociologist Weitzman concludes that while the abolition of grounds, fault, and consent has eliminated much of the acrimony previously associated with divorce proceedings, this, together with the institution of gender-neutral standards for property awards and child support, has resulted in increased economic hardship and social dislocation for divorced women and dependent children. Weitzman does not intend to extrapolate her data, conclusions, and recommendations to the whole country; however, it is reasonable to believe that they have national implications. Essential reading for legislators and family law scholars; highly recommended for public and academic libraries. Merlin Whitemen, Dann Pecar Newman Talesnick & Kleiman, Indianapolis

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the Worst Books Ever, October 6, 2008

By	Roger Gay "rogerfgay" (Haninge, Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first reviewer is telling the truth. Weitzman hid data from other researchers for years while pushing her false "findings" in the media. She eventually caved under immense pressure and other researchers quickly found the flaws in her analysis. Her results were fake. Unfortunately, by the time this was proven, public policy had been dramatically influenced and the public propaganda campaign in support of the new policies had become an unstoppable freight train. The damage Weitzman's deceit caused is incalcuable.

1.0 out of 5 stars based on flawed research and mathematical errors, May 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Divorce Revolution (Paperback)

Weitzman falsified data and made numerous mathematical errors and faulty data gathering techniques to make her case that women and children suffer much worse financially after divorce than do divorced fathers. Feminist propaganda at its finest, which has been used to hurt many children and fathers.
