Judge Blasts Divorce Court in Nolo Book
BERKELEY, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) February 16, 2007 --
“Whatever you do, try to keep your case out of
divorce court — the system stinks,”
writes Judge Roderic Duncan in A Judge’s
Guide to Divorce: Uncommon Advice from the Bench, new from Nolo. “But
if your spouse won’t cooperate and you must
go, here’s everything you need to know about
surviving the ordeal.”
The veteran divorce-court judge reveals court as a clumsy tool for
breaking up a family. It’s adversarial,
intrusive and costly. When the law and fairness don’t
jive, the judge must side with the law. And when the couple has
children, the courtroom experience makes long-term enemies of the two
people most important to the kids.
So Duncan recommends you and your spouse reach your own agreements, and
he offers plenty of sage advice on how to accomplish this —
from kitchen-table settlements to mediation to collaborative divorce.
Almost always, the court will rubberstamp its approval of your
settlement.
But for those bound for court, he offers a wealth of tips on how to make
your court appearance as successful and stress-free as possible. After
thousands of cases, he knows all the blunders and booby traps that await
you. He lays out an insider’s guide to
survival — everything from preparing your
presentation to courtroom etiquette.
A Judge’s Guide to Divorce backs up
its points with recollections both tragic and comic. After all, the
judge has seen it all (like the time he ordered a man to give the baby
he was holding to its mother — the man tossed
it to a friend headed for the door). The book delivers straight talk
from a compassionate man who has witnessed the carnage of divorce court
firsthand.
