for how to work with high-conflict divorced couples. In a clear and
methodical manner, the authors teach ex-spouses how to slowly peel
back the layers of conflict between them. More importantly, they
provide ex-spouses with a clear roadmap to help them navigate their
way towards becoming better parents for their children. This book

children and their families must read this book. "
