About this item
Texans have saved over $400 million by doing their own divorces with this book. The first part explains how the laws work, how to divide the marital property, settle issues of child custody and support, and generally helps you make the necessary decisions along the way and reach agreement with your spouse (thus keeping the divorce uncontested). The second part shows you how to complete all the forms and file them with the court. At the back of the book is a complete set of tear-out forms. The book includes a CD-ROM disc containing all the forms, schedules and worksheets in the printed book for completion on computer; the Citations by Publication and by Posting kits; a marital settlement agreement and DealMaker software to create one; addresses and web links to all the Texas county courthouses; and relevant portions of the Texas Family Code.
