This new edition addresses specific changes to the state statutes allowing for "collaborative law" during the divorce process. This is a concept that is being tried in various parts of the country, but is new to Texas. This concept allows for mediation to be handled by both parties and one outsider, often a minister or counselor. The parties agree on all issues between themselves. The papers are then filed in court for the judge's approval. There is no trial, no refereeing, and no court time is wasted. Of course, this also means there is minimal cost involved, even when using an attorney. Forms for use with the collaborative law process are included.
Appendices include: Texas statutes relating to divorce, sample filled-in forms and more than thirty blank, tear out forms with complete instructions. A new glossary and thorough index make this book a user-friendly tool.
