Rematch: Winning Legal Battles with Your Ex

Coauthored with family law specialist Steven R. Lake

Nearly 14 million Americans are currently divorced; 1.2 million join their ranks every year. Every one of these people is a candidate for a rematch: a return bout in the legal arena with his or her ex.

•Don't suffer in silence if your ex is harassing you. There are dozens of ways to break a destructive pattern that is making you a victim.

•Are your visitation rights being hindered or blocked? Remedies are available, from court-ordered mediation to a formal change of custody if circumstances warrant it.

•If children are involved, you and your ex can count on continued contact and possibly litigation after your break-up.

Rematch (Chicago Review Press, 1989) can help you defuse explosive situations out of court and protect your rights, interests, and pocketbook should you find yourself back before the judge.
