Finally a book anyone can understand not just those in the legal field. Being in the legal profession myself I find this book to be my bible. It's easy and takes you through the process step by step. The only thing you must watch out for are the forms which are constantly revised by the courts. Although this book gives you the names of the forms you will need, it is still your responsibility to check and make sure it's the most current one. One great way is to log onto the court's website where you can download the most recent forms for free. I find this book very helpful and hope you will too. Best of luck!
Rebuttal to the previous review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
The earlier review is old. It was written in 1999. This book was updated in 2001. I found the book to be helpful, up-to-date and the most clear of all the CA divorce books.I highly recommend it -- forms change all the time, it is always important to check copyright dates on any book when using the forms. Plus check on-line resources to make sure the forms are accurate.The information and advice in this book is far superor than any of the other titles in the catagory.

The earlier review stating the forms were out of date is completely wrong and must be referring to an earlier edition of this book. Plus, the review was posted in 1999. The new edition of this book came out in 2001.This is an excellent book and if used right can save a lot of money.
