Customer Reviews

Read before the divorce!

Very good advice for those who are going through a divorce. I wish I had read it before I was taken for over $150,000 in Alimony. Helps you realize that a vindictive and cruel spouse can ruin you financially and still look like the victim!

Detailed!!

Helps you to understand the complexity of marital debt/assets. In doing post-divorce mediation, the aftermath is worse than the initial filing of the divorce petition. Here we have two consenting adults reigning over the financial thrones of the other. Leaving their financial future in the hands of someone bitter will only gain negative results. What makes one think the court order will enforce resolution? The other party may not feel the urge to pay out of malice. This can lead to foreclosures, collection calls, garnishments, jdgements/liens, (ALL in YOUR name!!!) and frustration. Being obligated on debt/assets and assuming resolution is a narrow-minded field of scope. This book describes the wide range of capacity in which you should consult with your attorney to ensure fair equitable distribution and negotiation. A mediator is usually sought out or court-ordered for disputes such as this. Support issues such as commingled funds, both spouses' rights to pensions and social security, equitable business, equitable mortgage , child support, spousal support, and other dividends are dissertated in this book. This book has so much information in it that is very useful to me as a practitioner. Divorcing couples need to get this for the outcome of what is to be.
