Synopsis

The "must have" book for any single or soon-to-be-single father (or anyone involved with a single father), this slim, easy-to-read volume gets right to the point and tells you everything you need to know to protect your relationship with your children, and to protect your children from the fallout of your divorce. This is not a 'how to screw your ex' or 'how to get custody' book; it is a 'how to achieve the balance and environment your children need to survive and thrive through your divorce in a family law system that is heavily biased against fathers'. Anne Mitchell is a nationally recognized fathers’ rights attorney and spokesperson, and was one of the first fathers’ rights lawyers in the country. She is the founder of DadsRights.org, and a leading advocate for children of divorce having a strong relationship with both parents, even in a social and legal climate that often seeks to reduce fathers to weekend “visitors”. The advice and information which was once only available to her clients is now available in this straight-forward, plain English, easy-to-read book. In addition to sections on parental alienation, parental kidnapping, and false allegations, Mitchell includes a section on how to shield your children from the fall-out from your divorce so that you can ensure that your children still have a happy, well-adjusted childhood, along with checklists for various issues you may encounter, and a directory of legal organizations and clinics in all 50 states. Please note that this is the 2nd Edition - The 1st Edition, along with reviews, can be seen by searching Amazon for "Surviving Divorce and Custody Issues: The Single Father's Guide".

About this title

About the Author

Anne P. Mitchell is a nationally recognized fathers’ rights attorney and spokesperson. One of the first fathers’ rights lawyers in the country, with more than 20 years experience in fathers’ rights, Anne has been invited to speak and consult about fathers’ rights issues with judges, state legislators, social workers, and family court workers. Her DadsRights.org website is one of the top fathers’ rights sites on the Internet, and more than 12,000 fathers have benefitted from the material and advice that is now available to the public in this book. Mitchell, a graduate of Stanford Law School, had been involved in fathers' rights even before going to law school, and upon being admitted to the bar opened a private fathers' rights law practice in which she represented fathers only, advocating for their relationship with their children. At the same time, she became an oft-invited guest on the speaking and lecture circuit, including being asked by California Governor Pete Wilson to speak at his "Focus on Father's" Summit, being invited to speak on fathers' rights at the "Beyond the Bench" judicial education conference, and even making a guest appearance on the Leeza show. No longer in private practice, Mitchell maintains the DadsRights.org and DearEsq.com legal websites, where the public can find resources and ask questions related to family law.
