Great book for women

I disagree with the above woman's remarks. She obviously has "issues" that need to be dealt with. I don't see how her biases are opinions that relate to this book. In anycase this is a very informative book for women. Most often attorneys do not have the time or forget that women may not be as informed or as educated in finances. Not stereotyping but stating that it is not a common practice for anyone for that matter to be educated in QDRO's or other divorce finanicals. This book helps those who are just getting a divorce or are close to settlement. Good book. I agree with the opinions of the author of the book.

Very useful...

I picked this book up, not as a wronged custodial mother or first wife, but as a second wife, trying to anticipate ways that my husband's first wife might further try to take advantage of him. A great deal of press has been given to struggling mothers and downtrodden first wives, but no one pays any attention to the husbands who end up getting bled dry by their first wives. I found this book to be a great resource, not just for women looking to get what's "rightfully theirs", but also for men looking to protect what they've "rightfully earned" through hard work. I'm a social worker, so of course I agree that custodial parents should receive child support. But somehow, we've gotten the notion that women are automatically better parents simply because they're women and men are always abusive jerks. The only reason I don't give this book five stars is because Shulman seems to be cashing in on the pervading notion that all men are scum and deserve to be wrung dry. I happen to be married to wonderful guy who got taken to the cleaners and we're using this book to prevent him from being cleaned out. Having said this, I do recommend this book. It covers everything from military pensions, to retirement plans (QDROs), to railroad pensions and the information is very specific. I found it very informative.
