This book explains what happens in Canada when a family unit disintegrates, especially when there are children involved.
Justice Brownstone's theory is that when people break up, they must adopt a mature approach of dealing with their former partners, especially when children are involved. However, he also addresses the topics of finances in a number of chapters, which describe how you can try to resolve your conflicts without going to court. He has a chapter on alternatives to litigation. He describes when going to court is necessary. There are also details about lawyers, what you should look for, and why they are very important in their role.
Especially close to his heart is the chapter on custody and access disputes. He talks about the importance of joint custody as a concept.
