Although this book has not been updated with current laws or forms, it is still relevant because readers learn to define strategies, protect themselves, negotiate a fair settlement, and handle their case in court. Anyone enduring a California divorce that is not going smoothly needs this book. Whether problems are minor or huge, this book shows readers how to overcome them and move their case forward. This indispensable guide includes instructions on how to plan and prepare a case, work both with and against an attorney, and on how to get the information you need. If a case ends up in court, the book shows readers what to do at trial. The section on how to prepare and behave at trial alone is more than worth the price of the book.
