was the first book I read when the divorce was inevitable and set the standard for the rest,

The main point is that an adversarial divorce is a problem for everyone, especially children, This covers a man's point of view and covers both when he leaves and when she leaves and notes the most common reasons and ways one of the partners leaves.


There is a lot of discussion of toning down the extreme rhetoric, extreme emotions and extremely stupid attorneys' behavior, It seems so rational and calmed me down, I found the advice very good and have followed it,

The book covers many aspects of the process, behaviors and feelings of both parties, It can't cover everything to the depth you will need to make it work smoothly, I needed to beef up my knowledge in several areas to stop the rage, disappointment and fear,

This is a good start though, This was a very wellwritten comprehensive book about issues that many men face when going through a divorce, and how to handle it in the best way possible.
The author has a few rash, negative statements that I didn't agree with, but otherwise the book was really informative and welldone! This book not only explains the nitty gritty details of how the states view divorce settlements, but also and most importantly explains how men in particular raise the costs of divorce through emotional and ego investment.
