Synopsis

A comprehensive coverage of all aspects of divorce, this book gives practical, workable guidelines as to how to handle the different phases of divorce from a legal perspective. It gives an overview of the contested and uncontested divorce, with a separate section for people who want to handle their divorce themselves. In all cases, there is a clear overview of the legal process. The book also covers the issues of custody and maintenance, but in a way to make these issues realistic in terms of the life circumstances of the family, and based firmly on the principle of the best interests of the child. These are various practical tools to make this emotionally difficult period easier in terms of the practical day-to-day and legal issues. There are for example guidelines as to the division of assets, how to draw up a maintenance plan, how to draw up a parenting plan, age-appropriate custody schedules, and more. The Do-It-Yourself section provides all the documentation necessary for a smooth divorce, giving all the relevant information about where to get the documentation from, how they should be filled in, where or to whom these should be delivered, and so on.
