2.0 out of 5 stars oversimplified - no detail or examples, 15 Oct 2002

By	Silver Moon Sailor "lizzie796" (Northumberland uk) - See all my reviews

I found the free leaflets from the County Court at least as helpful as this book. It describes the basic processes that you need to go through in order to get a divorce plus some that you may need to go through re: children and finances but it really gives you no idea how complicated things are likely to get in your particular case. There is little guidance of the what-to-do-if-your-spouse-will-not-play-ball variety. I would have thought that some degree of animosity or lack of cooperation is to be expected in even the simplest of divorce cases. Although the author is decribed as a psychotherapist as well as a lawyer there is little of the human touch about the book. The pages are few and the print is large. It is short and simple - too short and simple.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really useful and easy-to-follow instructions, 7 Dec 2000

By	rob_haskell@uk.ibm.com (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Do Your Own Divorce: A Step-by-step Guide (Paperback)

In this age of a general (if unproven) cynicism about solicitors plus the spread of interest in 'do-it-yourself' this book provides a simple-to-follow but thorough examination of the process which had hitherto been seen as a dark-secret performed only by long-practised members of the legal profession.

Thankfully focused on the process to be followed in England, I was able to use this book in conjunction with the information pack available from the local law-courts and progress without any apparent delay through the various steps of the process, using the clearly defined chapters and informative reminders to ensure that the matter went ahead with the minimum amount of difficulty or need for re-work.

Reading this book may also help you decide NOT to do your own divorce without the aid of a solicitor, but in this event it will at least help you to identify the stages being gone through and the necessary required intervals along the way to save you unnecessary frustration.

Finally, I can safely say that buying and using this book saved me personally at least �600 - but anyone interested in D-I-Y will know the benefits that can be gained if good clear instructions are available and can be followed!
