Book Description
Updated and revised with seven new chapters, a new introduction, and a new resources section, this landmark book is invaluable for women facing a custody battle. It was the first to break the myth that mothers receive preferential treatment over fathers in custody disputes. Although mothers generally retain custody when fathers choose not to fight for it, fathers who seek custody often win—not because the mother is unfit or the father has been the primary caregiver but because, as Phyllis Chesler argues, women are held to a much higher standard of parenting. Incorporating findings from years of research, hundreds of interviews, and international surveys about child-custody arrangements, Chesler argues for new guidelines to resolve custody disputes and to prevent the continued oppression of mothers in custody situations. This book provides a philosophical and psychological perspective as well as practical advice from one of the country’s leading matrimonial lawyers. Both an indictment of a discriminatory system and a call to action over motherhood under siege, Mothers on Trial is essential reading for anyone concerned either personally or professionally with custody rights and the well-being of the children involved.

Book Description
The Knowledge Every Man Needs for a Successful Divorce Each year 500,000 men will face divorce, and most of them make at least one crucial—and often irreversible—mistake. These errors might seem minor, such as moving out while things get sorted out, or thinking of “temporary” orders as being truly temporary. But when they get to court, these men discover they have put themselves in a terrible position. They may have to give up their house, pay impossibly high alimony, or even lose custody. You could be one of these men. But you don’t have to be. Joseph Cordell, the founder of the nation’s largest law firm focusing on men’s divorce and the creator of the Dads Divorce website, has seen the consequences of the mistakes men make. Drawing upon the huge number of cases that Cordell & Cordell has handled, this book identifies the 10 most common mistakes that end up hurting men in divorce. Cordell demystifies the divorce process, explains what judges consider in making their final decisions, and lays out a road map for positive actions men can take to achieve the best possible outcome. No man should face divorce without this book.

The marriage was filled with lies, deception, fraud and many tears. Tina was left in an utter state of confusion. This wasn't the man that she married...or was it?

Book Description
Many people going through a custody battle are battling alone. They pretend things are fine, but inside they hope someone will see their pain and help them figure out how to navigate it. They often hide the real impact their custody battle is having on them because they want to remain a part of the world around them even though they feel that the walls of their own world is about to collapse. A custody battle is a moment in time that feels like an eternity. It often brings out the worst in people and exploits the memories of a past that is usually unreconciled and unredeemed. It is painful, it is hard, it is exhausting, but it is not an impossible circumstance to overcome-especially if someone has a friend to encourage them and walk with them through this most difficult season of life. In this book, Rachel desires to help you learn how to support your friend through their custody battle with greater understanding, empathy, love, and encouragement. In the end, you will not only be moved to encourage your friend in a deeper way but also to advocate for their internal healing, restoration and wholeness during and after the custody battle.
