An essential guide for every kind of Divorce with or without an attorney.
by Ed Sherman, California Attorney
Studies show that the single most important factor in a good divorce outcome is becoming informed and prepared, and being an active participant in your own case. That’s what it means to do your own divorce. This book puts you in charge of your own case and your own life.
When you’re getting divorced, you can make a tough time easier for your children (and yourself) if you work with the other parent to draw up a custody plan and agree on child support. If you can’t work out custody and support, you’ll have to head to court and ask a judge to step in.
Either way, Nolo’s Essential Guide to Child Custody & Support can help. You’ll learn:
- how negotiation and mediation can keep costs down, ease the transition for kids, and improve future dealings with your ex
- where to find your state’s child support guidelines
- how judges make custody decisions
- how to enforce and change custody and support orders
- how court trials work
- what military families need to know
- when you need a lawyer and how to work with one
You’ll also find specifics about each state’s laws, including what factors courts consider when they rule on custody arrangements, what happens when one parent wants to move away with the children, and how you can change custody or support orders.
Nolo’s Essential Guide to Divorce guides you through all stages of separation and divorce with practical wisdom and compassion. Make the process simpler and reduce your expenses with information that will help you:
- understand your rights and make decisions about property, custody, and support
- work with mediators or lawyers
- avoid expensive and painful court battles
Includes state-specific charts!
