Building a Parenting Agreement That Works: Child Custody Agreements Step by Step 7th Edition

This book is well suited to low and medium conflict divorces. Within those parameters, it gets 5 stars; but I wouldn't recommend it if you are unable to negotiate over coffee without a lawyer.That being said, this book can keep a medium conflict divorce from *transforming* into a HIGH conflict one, where every decision is negotiated by lawyers. My ex and I were focused on the things that we can't agree on, but by simply setting those few issues aside to deal with in mediation, we've been about to make great progress on the 90% of things this book showed us that we *can* agree on.Again, I would NOT recommend this book for truly high conflict cases with restraining orders and public scream in matches and character assassination on Facebook... but it might keep if from getting to that point if there's any hope.

This book will teach you what to do; instead of paying an attorney. The attorney I talked to wanted to charge me $500. to print out a basic agreement that was nothing more than a Word doc template.Protect yourself and your kid(s) rights to have you in their life.The Family Courts are so unbalanced in the woman's favor; 98% for them and 2% for men.If you are looking for help this book will provide it.

Bought this book for my stepdaughter when she filed for divorce. She finds this book to be informative during this temultous time in her life on custody issues. Emotions run high and being empowered by objective information centers one back on what the true issues are and how to handle them. She thanked me for this book several times.

I FELT THE BOOK WAS GREAT WISH I WOULD HAVE INVESTED PRIOR TO GOING TO COURT. IT ALSO HELPED ME LOOK AT MYSELF AND OTHER ISSUES A LITTLE MORE CLEARLY AND SEE SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS I MISSED WITH MY CHILDREN IT ALSO MADE ME PAY MORE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. I THINK ITS AN EXCELLENT BOOK CLEARS UP ALOT OF I DON'T KNOWS

Really Similar to the child custody one they provide. The information has been helpful but it definitely didn’t save me money.

this book is a good beginning to the unfortunate process of trying to figure out how to be a co parent when you are divorcing. it gives the reader a preview of what they will have to do to create a schedule for children and how to work cooperatively with the other parent.

I bought this book when I needed to draw up a document for child custody privileges. It was full of meaningless little snippets, like "will you let your child drive when he/she is 16". I needed a 'meat and bones' guide to write a document that would hold, and this book didn't help me. I guess when my children are 16 I'll need that info, but for now it was just a waste of money.

A must for anyone who knows someone or who is going through something like this. Clear concise and we'll explained a really good read and worth the money. Well done
