Product Description

Product Description

This book is for the increasing number of people who have to go through divorce proceedings without legal assistance, and for those who just want to save legal costs. It offers practical and extremely useful reading for anyone who is seeking or contemplating a divorce, or anyone whose spouse has issued divorce proceedings against them. The book is pertinent for those separating from a spouse, as many principles, with regard to arrangements for children and sorting out finances, are the same. It includes specimen forms, useful addresses and websites, and a detailed glossary of legal terms. It offers expert advice and information on: what divorce proceedings involve including completing all the required forms; sorting out financial/property arrangements, by agreement and through the court; making arrangements for children; details of child support maintenance; and, dealing with domestic violence, costs and mediation.

5.0 out of 5 stars unmissable book for all married people, 7 Sep 2009
By David Harris (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The dan­ger of DIY books is that they are bought by those who lack the expe­ri­ence train­ing and tal­ent to exe­cute the skill described, or the money to hire some­one who has. Geeklawyer speaks with the full authen­tic­ity of a man who owns a DIY wood­work­ing book. Gen­er­ally the result is an amus­ing disaster.

DIY law books suf­fer the same risks: DIY con­veyanc­ing, DIY patents and DIY War Crimes tri­als. That said, while many such DIY books tar­get issues which really do need a pro­fes­sional ser­vice, in a hushed whis­per Geeklawyer will admit that some things can be done entirely appro­pri­ately by non-lawyers: small claim civil cases, admin­is­tra­tive appeals and even very minor crim­i­nal mat­ters -- park­ing tick­ets etc.

John Bolch sallys forth into the DIY law arena with a book on a topic in which he can prop­erly be said to be expert: Divorce. John is a solic­i­tor with 25 years of expe­ri­ence in divorce and the author of the highly infor­ma­tive Family-Lore blog.

The book con­tains the thing text­books rarely con­tain: detailed worked exam­ples of court forms and com­mon sense advice on ways to pro­ceed. Bolch clearly explains the things that need to be done, step by step, with the deci­sions to be made and the alter­na­tives explained. He does so in a jar­gon free but acces­si­ble and accu­rate way. If there were any crit­i­cism it would be that some very lim­ited exam­ples from case law might have been use­ful, for exam­ple on what was `unrea­son­able behav­iour', such as protests by a wife about being given a well deserved beat­ing. Caselaw exam­ples have their down­side of course; they'd make the book larger and there is an argu­ment against turn­ing it into a GCSE Divorce text­book, so it was rea­son­able not to do so. Geeklawyer was also of the view that the book needs it own web­site for errata and per­haps fur­ther help, but that's a fairly nig­gling point.
