The Divorce Mediation Handbook: Everything You Need to Know
This is a consumer's guide to divorce mediation, an increasingly popular alternative to expensive litigated divorces. James, a Texas matrimonial attorney whose full-time divorce mediation practice began in 1992, is biased toward attorney-mediators, which may irritate mediators without a law degree. Never mind. The real strength of this book is its detailed discussions of the issues a divorcing couple must address, regardless of how they dissolve their marriage. After reading James's accessible treatment, patrons will have the courage to move forward with their divorce and will be more likely to choose mediation over litigation. James also includes a section of helpful forms for divorcing couples as they navigate the settlement waters, and a list of books for divorcing parents. Recommended for consumer law collections; libraries should also consider Diane Neumann's Choosing a Divorce Mediator (LJ 12/15/96) as a companion volume.?Julie Denny, Alliance for Mediation & Conflict Resolution, Inc., New YorkCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
