 saved a lot on legal fees June 25, 2010

I used a website that provided examples of things to think about in a custody dispute for men and women and downloaded a book from their site and in addition used this book to help build a parenting agreement that was quickly accepted by my former spouse and I during a contested divorce. My attorney and counselor were both impressed by the details included in the plan. My attorney indicated I had helped save hundreds of dollars just in writing the draft and saved thousands by being able to present it to both sides during a settlement conference. The details included in our plan will help us to avoid going back to court because we have everything spelled out. The author provides lists for ideas and suggestions which we found very helpful. Both sides were happy with the outcomes.
Exactly what we needed at the right time May 18, 2008

This book gave us exactly what we needed and wanted when we realized that we had to sort out custody and parenting issues. We adapted the worksheets to our own situation and have created a parenting plan that we both agree on. What a blessing!

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.
