“Once I pay alimony and child support, I won’t have enough to live on. How can I reduce it?” “My 16 year old refuses to visit her father. Am I going to be in contempt of court if I don’t make her go?” Brette McWhorter Sember, a retired divorce attorney and a widely-published author on the subject, answers hundreds of questions like these in simple layman’s terms—covering everything from living under a separation agreement to dividing assets and debts. Looking at divorce from all angles—legal, social, psychological, and financial—this is a resource that speaks to everyone, from those just starting to contemplate breaking up a marriage, to those trying to renegotiate an unsatisfactory financial settlement.
One of 9 self-help books for 2009. "If the economic tumble hasn't convinced you of the importance of protecting your assets, this book will. Former divorce attorney Sember, who has written extensively about the divorce and mediation, walks you through how to choose the right lawyer, divide assets (and debts) and prepare for social and psychological hurdles, all without making your head spin." --Ny Daily News
