No image available A realistic perspective on divorce and its effects on children. This is an American book, but its issues are relevant to separating or divorcing parents anywhere. Packed with real-world examples, this book avoids idealistic assumptions and offers straight talking, practical help from divorcing parents, custody specialists, family court counsellors, marriage and family therapists, and others interested in the well-being of children. The author aims to help parents avoid the most common mistakes separating parents make, to spare them the emotional and financial damage they can cost both parents and their children. Stahl’s 30-point ‘sample parenting plan’ sets a new standard for families who want to bring order out of the usual chaos of parenting after separation. A very practical and honest book.
