Divorced Families: A Multidisciplinary Developmental View

Constance Ahrons is the "go to" author for how to have a good divorce. She was doing this work and re-thinking the damage that the legal system (and out of control parents) do to families and kids long before it entered on almost everyone else's radar screen. This book treats each phase separately and defines them as transitions, with chapters on each so that each phase is treated separately. The text is a little dense, aimed perhaps at professionals and lay people with some education (this is not some simple breezy read, but then again, the problems aren't exactly simple, either).
