Over 800 triple-columned pages of vital
information about fighting for custody of your children. This book is
for parents facing a vicious or dangerous person on the other side.
Topics include your child having an attorney of
his or her own, who must listen to the child's wishes, admit-deny to pin
down the lies once and for all, how to keep your job from losing your
child custody case, home study, psychological evaluation, false
accusations of child abuse, dealing with real child abuse, Parental
Alienation Syndrome, how to turn hearsay into documented evidence As a bipolar mother I will never have custody of my children. That is the
hardest thing I had to accept. Parenting at a Distance helps me send them
activities that will help them remember me with some happy memories. I am
getting better and they are getting older. Some day there will be an opportunity
for us to sit together. I will tell them how much joy I found in putting
together their projects and I hope they will be able to tell me how much they
enjoyed my efforts. Really a good book. Meghan Morris --Letter to the publisher

We are a large body of parents both intact and "non intact" against Grandparent Visitation. These grandparents that sue for the rights to visit their grandchildren are using these statutes to gain control of our families with devastating results. Our children are suffering from this devastation under the threat of putting their parents in jail if these visits do not occur. If you are being sued by grandparent's, please visit our web site above. Every State Supreme Court challenge occurring today is being overturned. Grandparents who sue are making no lasting impact on their grandchildren by challenging their adult children (parents) in court.

With this book you can take advice when you want it and ready to hear it. You can act on what you have learned, mull it over or discard the advice altogether without interference. This book will not allow you to give the opposition power you might imagine but that they do not really have or let you allow others to diminish the importance you play in your children's lives.

Author of 'My Parents Still Love Me Even Though They're Getting Divorced', a fantasy story/workbook to help children ages 5-11 learn about and cope with divorce and child custody. The book follows a mermaid and a knight and their four children through the challenges of divorce. In reading the story and doing the workbook pages, children learn to how to appropriately express their anger and fears and that divorce is not their fault. They also learn problem solving tools to answer questions such as: "What do I do if one of my parents is talking bad about the other?" "What can I do if one of my parents is breaking a court order?" and "How can I feel comfortable in two homes?" It is a wonderful book to read with a child facing the pain of their parents' divorce.

Marriage Encounter
Baptist Marriage Encounter Episcopal Marriage Encounter Jewish Marriage Enhancement International Lutheran Marriage Encounter Methodist Marriage Encounter Roman Catholic Marriage Encounter Seventh-Day Adventist Marriage Encounter Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away from home, family and responsibilities where in a comfortable, secluded environment a couple is guided in the discovery of new techniques of communicating and sharing with one another. It is not a retreat, but it is a program designed to give couples the opportunity to examine their lives together, their weaknesses and strong points, their attitudes toward each other and toward their families. Couples are given the opportunity to look at themselves, privately with their partner in an honest, face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter. Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help couples prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the marriage, not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime." Couples are shown communication and decision-making techniques they can use throughout their lifetime together. Engaged Encounter is specifically designed for quiet reflection and discussion by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense experience between two people who are either seriously considering engagement, engaged or recently married. At no time will the couple be asked to share their private experiences with the group. National Coalition of Free Men
