This book should be titled 'What Every Woman Should Know about Custody Battles'. I found absolutely nothing helpful about a basic childless divorce in this book. If you are going through a divorce and have custody issues, this might be okay for you. If you have no children, don't even bother.

I really enjoyed learning the successful strategies supplied in this book. I would recommend to a friend to read before signing any divorce paperwork!

I find this book very informative. I first picked it up because I like to really research any situation I find myself in and being a mom starting a divorce, this book really spells it out for me.

Better for women going through a divorce but not so helpful for after.
