Sommario/riassunto

Based on over 100 lawyer-client conferences at which the authors were observers, this book charts the complicated and shifting relationships between the two as they work out the strategy and tactics of divorce. It also examines the nature of the marriage and why marriages fail, the nature of the legal process and the best way to resolve divorce.
