Summary: This helped me get through it!
Review: A two-year custody battle almost made me crazy. A friend bought me this book and I wish I had it sooner! I like that it tells you how to interact with your lawyer...I fired my first one after reading this. I found the story of the divorcing couple a little unreal, but it was funny in places like when the guy has to justify his lifestyle of sleeping at odd hours so he can stay up all night working. My work hours are also weird, so I could relate.

Summary: It's all in there
Review: Child Custody Made Simple covers every issue of a custody plan and going to court about custody, finding the right lawyer or representing yourself, how to respond to custody emergencies, and enforcing child support. Watnik is not a lawyer, but this book is well-written and complete. This is a great primer for someone representing themselves in a custody matter, as well as someone represented by an attorney. It's a gem of a resource for who to contact for what kind of help, as well as defining the sometimes confusing legal jargon that accompanies custody cases.

Summary: A very good book
Review: I read your book and I think it is a very good book. It tells about both sides--the woman and the man. Most books only take one side or the author has a bias, but your book presents the information without any bias. It was very complete and answered many of my questions. I encourage you to write another book!

Summary: Cut and Dry
Review: This book contains alot of great information for the parent who is RECENTLY SEPARATED OR DIVORCED. It gives a simple explaination how to negotiate the court system, what forms need to be filed, how to find an attorney, and how to determine child support. Unfortunately, we were already deep into our pursuit of custody of my step-daughter when I purchased this book and found the information to be too vague. We also felt the book is targeted to mothers and did not address the issues fathers have to face when seeking a change in custody. Despite the above, this book was a useful piece of reference material. We referred to the book often when we needed explanation legal terminology. All in all, the book was helpful, but not what we hoped for when we purchased it.

Summary: A great book on custody and support issues
Review: This is a great book for working out an arrangement for your kids. When I first got divorced, they handed me a piece of paper that said I could only see my children twice a month. I knew that was wrong, and armed with the knowledge in this book, I found a better lawyer and went back to court with a different arrangement. My ex fought it, but the judge ruled in my favor and I won! I think everybody should read this book before you even start talking to your ex. You don't know what you're getting into, but this book does a really good job of explaining it all. It's the best book I've seen.

Summary: A great book on custody and support issues
Review: This is a great book on custody and support issues. Webster Watnik, the author, presents a huge amount of information with accuracy, clarity, and simplicity. He offers tips on choosing a lawyer, explains legal terms, describes options, and how to get what you want and need. Mr. Watnik is a professional writer, not a lawyer, who surpasses many lawyers in explaining the law. I think everyone should buy this book.
