Marriage and Divorce

Unfortunately in today's society, marriage and divorce has become a synonymous phrase for 50% of married couples. You don't begin a marriage expecting it to end, but when you find yourself there, you may ask yourself:

-Will I have to hire a lawyer and go to court?
-How will I divide our assets?
-Who will get custody of the children?
-How much will it cost?
-Where do I go from here?

This third edition of Marriage and Divorce discusses the current laws governing marriage and divorce, including the related issues of child custody, visitation, and support. Margaret C. Jasper has expanded each chapter with further discussion of topics including cohabitation, property rights, parental rights, and financial issues.

This easy-to-use guide is written for people at all levels of experience and education who are seeking legal advice without having to immediately contact a legal representative. With this Legal Almanac, Jasper provides you with the information and tools that will make the experience of divorce less overwhelming, less expensive, and perhaps a little easier.
