As many as 70 percent of California divorces encounter problems, and this book addresses them with clarity and common sense. It helps both Respondents and Petitioners in problem cases, covering everything from mild disagreements to flat-out warfare. It helps readers define strategies, protect themselves, negotiate for a fair settlement, make motions that get the court’s attention, demand and obtain information from the other side, and handle the case in court if it comes down to that. Blank tear-out forms and a CD-ROM of forms and additional resources are included.
