The system contains standardized legal pleadings (boiler plates), actual pleadings, court rulings, opinions on family matters, articles, learned essays, and sources for further research).The Official Newsletter of FOCUS: Children and The Other Parent, Parents Organization Salt Lake City, Utah. As I sit to write this review, I can't decide whether to characterize this book as the 20th Century response to Sun-Tzu's "The Art of War", or as an indispensable Bible for the modern divorcing parent. I suppose either, or both, would be appropriate. Even then, I can't even begin to describe this how-to manual whose table of contents alone covers ten pages, except in the most general terms. Indeed, I thought of offering that table of contents AS my review! After many years of personal experience and study on divorce and related issues, I'd thought that there wasn't much that I didn't know about divorce. This book showed me some nooks and crannies that I hadn't even been aware of, let alone explored. When Ms Hardwick asked if I had any suggestions for additions, I came up with one very small and obscure one. But surprise she'd already had that slated for the next edition! The detail in this book is superb, yet it is written in language easily understood by the laymen. And it covers the entire route beginning with preparing yourself emotionally and psychologically, throughout the depths of strategies, tactics, and counter-mover. Despite the book's intentionally startling title and its pervasive analogy to military matters, Ms Hardwick is no advocate of waging such wars when not absolutely necessary. Indeed, her concept of victory is the cessation of hostilities with, if not a mutually agreeable situation, at least the fairest and most equitable one possible. She reminds throughout that, despite the heat and emotion of battle, we must always subserviate our own interests to those of the children. If all this sounds like a raving review of Ms Hardwick and her volume, it most definitely is. I am astonished at the breath and detail she has afforded here. It was a magnificent undertaking on her part. This is most definitely four-star material. While not cheap, it should be considered that this book contains more information than any other ten books on divorce put together! And when you consider the impact that such valuable information can have on the lives of your children, this is a modest investment indeed. I highly recommend the Win Your Child Custody War manual. |
