If you are going through a custody dispute, you might want to take a look at a Child Custody Strategies. This book claims to give you a better chance of winning a custody dispute, and attempts to back up the claim by providing an inside look at the dispute process. While the bulk of the information is no different than that which is known by a skilled attorney, the book itself does make for interesting reading for anyone going through the dispute process and for lawyers look for an interesting view on the subject.
The Positives
There are actually a few positive aspects to this book, which might surprise some. First and foremost, the book is produced by individuals that actually have legal experience (Drs. Bricklin and Elliot), and it does provide a rather interesting look into an often misunderstood aspect of the legal world. The advice may not be life changing, but it might be very useful reading for anyone that is undergoing a custody dispute. The product does have enough real legal information to interest new custody attorneys as well, though one would be hard pressed to compare reading the book to actual trial experience.
The Negatives
A good Child Custody Strategies should always make sure to bring up a single point – this “strategy” is no replacement for a skilled attorney. This is not to say that it is a bad product, or even that it offers bad advice, of course. It is more important to point out that this is information that an attorney should already know. Unless you plan on representing yourself in the custody hearing (a terrible idea), the necessity of this book is suspect. It might provide you with insight into the process, but perhaps not as much as an honest attorney might provide.
At around one hundred and thirty dollars, this product is a relatively cheap primer on child custody. The information within is not truly revolutionary, but it can be helpful to understand what your lawyer is doing, therefore saving you some expensive time (fees) in your lawyer’s office. It is always better to hire an attorney during a dispute, and most attorneys will be able to explain most of this information to you during the custody process. Still, the book itself makes for an interesting read and the knowledge within can help many individuals to plan a strategy. In the opinion of this Child Custody Strategies review, the product itself is worth buying for those that want a bit more information on the topic.
