Summary: "Divorce for Dummies - helpful"

I got this book for a college course on divorce and find it to be an easy and interesting read that clearly and concisely explains information that might otherwise be cloudy and confusing to anyone without a law degree. It also gives good advice to anyone who is contemplating or is in the early stages of getting a divorce.

Summary: "Gave as a Christmas gift. Reader used it liked it."

I gave this as a gift to a friend who badly needed to get divorced. Heard about it first from a bus buddy who told me it helped him.

Now, I feel you should try your best to work out your problems first but sometimes it is impossible.

This book helped my friend a lot and I am certain it will help you too.

Summary: "Divorce for Dummies"

I found this book very interesting. I am not divorced nor married, but the book provides a wealth of information to know before entering into marriage. Protecting oneself is key and I feel Divorce for Dummies opened my eyes to what I did not realize.

Summary: "Covers Many Topics"

This book hit on many topics and is a good reference book to use throughout the various stages of your divorce. Touches on a wide variety of things and generally answers some questions you might have. Some advice in this book I did not see in other divorce books such as what to do about debt in both of your names. Outlines what to do about credit card debt in both names as well as mortgage debt in both names. Mortgage debt is harder to get out of your name even if your spouse is awarded the asset. You are both still liable for mortgage debt until it is paid off or refinanced. Even if your divorce decree says that your former spouse is responsible for paying it. Book tells you how to communicate with credit card companies in regard to protecting your credit.
This book is worth reading because you will probably learn at least a few things you did not previously know.
