In How to Do Your Own Divorce (1971), attorney and Nolo Press founder Sherman showed people how to get a better divorce. Using the same principles, he and attorney Janke demonstrate how couples (married and unmarried) can create a constructive contract ensuring that their relationship will never end up in court. This contract incorporates relationship concepts, financial tailoring, and faith-based features, as well as legal information regarding who can get family-care leave and who inherits if there is no will. Templates of agreements that encompass present relationships and past marriages and children are provided in the book and on the accompanying CD-ROM. Excellent and comprehensive, this is recommended for all public libraries.
