This book is well written, researched and provides excellent advice and guidance on what it takes for someone in the midst of a divorce to investigate, prepare and succeed in custody matters. It is readily apparent that White is an experienced and expert investigator and KNOWS HIS STUFF. This book is outstanding and a must have guide for anyone who is dealing with custody issues and who cares about his/her kids. The author approaches the book from the standpoint of what is in the best interests of the children and what it takes to protect their interests. This perspective reflects the author's ethics and goals in ensuring that children have the benefits provided by good parents, and avoid the traps and lack of investigation that will frequently cause them to be awarded to bad ones. As an attorney (non-divorce) who has recently filed for divorce and is experiencing firsthand a series of nasty tricks and tactics by my ex, I can tell you that this book will help you, and give you great ideas and hope in any custody battle where your childs welfare is at stake. Those of us who are inexperienced in the custody battles and court and spousal shenanigans that can damage our children need and will benefit from Mr. Whites expertise and sound advice. This book is simply THE BEST! Buy it!

The basic premise of this book is that everyone is incompetent: every lawyer, every judge and even the parents. The only smart person is the author and this tone gets tiresome fast. While there are a few tidbits here, Mr. White mostly brags about winning cases where the facts are on his side (so he won custody away from a woman who left her child alone each night while she partied and had affairs.... well, who wouldn't have won on those facts?).
Asking your lawyer simple questions, like what do we need to prove our case and how can I help, should get you further than this book.

I expected so much more from the reviews. I appreciate that this book showed me I was going in the right direction but It should have gone much farther.

This author has no clue. He thinks everything is going to work out just fine if you follow his simple advice and are a straight-shooter. Ask any dad going through a child custody case, things can go from OK to Hell in a matter of mimutes. I didn't find a single thing worth underlining. A better child custody book is, Fathers' Rights: Hard-Hitting & Fair Advice for Every Father Involved in a Custody Dispute, by Jeffery Leving and Ken Dachman. Another book that will help more is, The Anger Control Workbook by Matthew McKay,Ph.D. and Peter Rogers, Ph. D. The workbook will help you cope with the frustrations of valueless child custody books and the opposition in your custody case.

The author focuses a lot about the importance of hiring a PI to do the dirty work, however, He does bring very good points in regards to maintaining a dairy which is an excellent idea, specially if you are dealing with a case of neglect, He does not mention anything about keeping a picture journal, since pictures speak a million words, but the sole idea of keeping a detailed journal is great as a evidence collection tool, since that is what you need to fight a succesful battle for custody, otherwise you are just going to become frustrated and end up no where, since the court does not know who you are neither who the other person is, so you have to tell them the story as it is, so you need evidence to prove your case. However, when it comes to psychological battles over the custody, there is not much mentioned there and that is one area where I believe the court system is not very well equipped to handle those cases, think for instance, if the marital relationship was violent from a psychological perspective, what makes you think that the child involved is not been treated the same way? How can you prove it? Those are cases that can be very involved and require a lot of psychological studies which can be manipulated as the author clearly mentions, but, how can you collect evidence? That question has not been answered and even if it is answered, I do not think the legal system is equipped to handle it as I mentioned before, excellent reference.
