Everything divorcing parents need to know about the legal, financial, and emotional aspects of child custody The parents of over 40 per cent of the children in the United States get divorced. This book, written by an experienced forensic psychologist, explains to parents who are divorcing what they should expect when it comes to parenting apart and child custody. Unlike other books on the subject, it's not a weapon for "winning" the custody battle (a skirmish no one ever really "wins"), but a guide to how both parents can make custody arrangements that are in their children's best interests. * Explores what kinds of custody arrangements work best; the legal process; dealing with the practicalities of joint custody; and handling custody disputes * Shares special advice for avoiding the pitfalls of co-parenting from a distance * Features proven ideas and practical solutions for everything from balancing vacation schedules to what to do about toys for children traveling between homes MARC J. ACKERMAN, PhD, (Glendale, Wisconsin) is a clinical psychologist and an expert on child custody.
He has conducted over 1,000 child custody evaluations, counseled families going through divorce, and written three books on the topic.
