"Which?" Guide to Divorce

This practical guide to the legal and financial arrangements associated with divorce aims to cover the far-reaching effects of the 1989 Children Act, which puts the welfare of the children of divorcing couples before everything else. It describes the sequence of events, the paperwork, the practical questions, what should happen to the matrimonial home and how to arrange finances after divorce. The book also explains how couples can seek conciliation and other help before actually getting divorced, and other topics include divorces after cross-cultural marriages, and separations after cohabitation.
