    About this audiobook

    The groundbreaking classic, Mom's House, Dad's House, has become the standard for two generations of divorcing parents, and includes examples, self-tests, checklists, tools, and guidelines to help separated moms and dads with the legal, emotional, and financial issues they will encounter as they work to create happy and stable homes.

    This comprehensive guide looks anew at the needs of all family members with creative options and common-sense advice, including:

    - The map to a "decent divorce" and two happy homes

    - Helping children of divorce with age-specific advice

    - Negotiating Parental Agreements and custody arrangements

    - Sidestepping destructive myths about divorce (and marriage)

    With Mom's House, Dad's House, parents will learn how to help their children heal and find a sense of continuity, security, and stability throughout the divorce process and in any custody situation.
