All the children. Iowa Support Master The Heart of Divorce: Advice from a Judge The easiest thing for a divorcing person to do is be agreeable. In this book, I have tried to give tips to help people get prepared for the divorce and to work through the divorce process as painlessly as possibly. This book is not designed for those who wish to aggressively litigate. I deliberately did not talk about attacking the other side, strategies, damage control, maneuvers, battles, wars, victory, defeat, and reprisals. There are many other books on the market that will help the reader pursue that course of action, including some published by Pale Horse Publishing.

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. Killers & Boosters for Child Custody Cases (Attitude Adjustment for Child Custody Case Litigants)

This site originates in New Zealand but addresses a world wide problem. Telecom is the major sponsor of Police programs which help young New Zealanders to avoid becoming offenders or victims of crime. The programs encourage children and young people to act safely and confidently to protect themselves and their property, and avoid drug abuse. Telecom supports the Police because we recognize it is the responsibility of all New Zealanders to allow our children and young people to grow up in a safe and healthy environment.

Parenting at a Distance Staying in touch with the children who live in your heart but not in your home.
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.
