"The author draws on her experience as a professional mediator to give real-life solutions to some of the most common custody issues."
New Orleans Times-Picayune "Zemmelman, who works with parents and others to come to mutually beneficial agreements, offers a guide that helps separating or divorcing parents (married or unmarried) work out a child custody agreement. She addresses how to take stock of the situation, get organized, and negotiate an agreement; build the agreement, its basic elements, parenting issues to address, serious situations like domestic violence and alcohol or drug abuse, and special challenges like moving, military service, and when homes are far apart; and aspects beyond the agreement, including child support, alimony, held property, mediation and arbitration, making changes, understanding the child's needs, multiracial, multicultural, international, and nontraditional families, and state and federal laws affecting child custody. A sample agreement is included."
Eithne O'Leyne, Editor Ringgold, Inc. ProtoView "A step-by-step guide meant to help even the most hostile couples work out terms for raising their children after the family splits."
