Customer Reviews

An excellent A-Z guide!
When one is taking the first steps into this minefield, decent advise is necessary! I have previously read Which? guides to other subjects and so I knew I could trust it. The Guide has an easy index to find specific information, or browsable chapters. The additional reading suggested at the end is very useful as well. I was impressed with the book and thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is taking their first (or last!) step into this murky area!!

The Which Guide to Divorce
Prior to buying this book, I had attended a couple of free sessions with lawyers to discuss my circumstances. I was dismayed that in both cases, after speaking to 'wet behind the ears' juniors - who seemed to have limited knowledge of divorce law - but an indepth knowledge of their fees P>If you trawl the Net for information - you will also find that Lawyers are less than forthcoming with free information. This book stands head and shoulders above others. It gives clear, comprehensive, impartial advice, and encourages couples to engage in mediation in order to resolve issues, in a manner less costly than funding adversarial lawyers.

My problems are not yet resolved, but this book has demonstrated that there are methods of attaining an outcome suited to both parties in a civilised and less costly manner.

interesting purchase!
My husband bought this for me in the hope of saving the costs of lawyers after his 9 adulterous years. I haven't read it but have put it in a useful place - ready for when his current girlfriend needs it so I can do her a favour and pass it on to her! So - it might be useful to someone one day!
