Baksh (clinical psychology) and Murphy (an R.N. focusing on clinical practice dealing with divorce and its impact on children) take the tone of a wake-up call from the onset of this book advising divorcing parents how to minimize the damage done to their children during the process. Among other advice, they compel readers to keep adult arguments between adults, to always prioritize a sick child over even a much-needed paycheck, to avoid involving children in court proceedings, and to pay attention to the emotions and bad behaviors--or an apparent lack thereof--of their children and treat them as expressions of frustrations over the changes divorce brings. Chapters also explain basic divorce procedures in and out of court and address the issues of domestic violence and sexual abuse within marriages, as well as within the new relationships of divorced parents.
