Custody for Fathers: A Practical Guide Through the Combat Zone of a Brutal Custody Battle

I have re-read this book cover to cover at least 3 times. I have it marked up, highlighted and underlined. It has been invaluable. Specific, concrete examples of what to expect, how to behave, what to strive for. I would not be as well off as I am now if I had not had this book as a resource. I have reviewed or read at least 10 books on the subject and this is by far the most useful in my opinion. Do read more than this book - but make sure you read this one. I have an excellent attorney but this book has allowed me to take far more responsability for MY case. It has allowed me to be far more interactive and supportive of my lawyer as well as saving me money, anxiety and upset. At times when I would start getting nervous I would open up the book and read a section and this would help me to calm down. The final court date has been set - I'll be reading it once more cover to cover before that date.

Finally, a book devoted to FATHERS fighting for custody of their children. A positive, supportive approach to give dads that extra confidence to do what's right. So detailed, it even advises you on correct body language in the courtroom, as well as the double-standard when it comes to how moms and dads are viewed in similar situations by judges. I'm a future stepmom, and reading this book has helped both me and my fiance' find the courage to keep his son safe, without sabotaging his mother in the process. PLEASE read this book.

Am always on the lookout for great books for Fathers seeking help during or after divorce when the "system" often is sexist and so willing to rule in favor of the mother. This is an excellent book that I would even recommend that those who do not have children read. Simply because I believe that friends need to be there for Dads, since Mothers seem to have plenty of pity party friends.Having helped a number of male friends get their kids in the custody battle I also recommend to fathers that you check out Fathers Rights websites and look for a pro-father attorney in the yellow pages.

This book offers strategies that are easy to understand and implement. Most custody books define the process without giving advise on how to win.
