The Voice of a Child in Family Law Disputes
Author: Patrick Parkinson, Judy Cashmore

When relationships break down, disputes commonly arise over the parenting arrangements for children, whose living arrangements have to be reorganized at a time of great conflict and turmoil. Most such disputes are resolved without a judicial determination through private agreement, negotiation between lawyers, mediation, or a combination of these methods. This book examines whether and how children should be involved in the process of resolving family law disputes. Although there is widespread acceptance in the Western world that the views of children should be taken into account, and that the weight given to those views should depend on children's age and maturity, there is much less agreement about how children's voices should be heard.

A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce
Author: Alec Baldwin, Mark Tabb

Alec Baldwin is one of the most successful actors in the world today. His relationship with Kim Basinger, the Academy Award - winning actress, lasted nearly a decade. They have a daughter named Ireland, and for a time, theirs seemed to be the model of a successful Hollywood marriage. But in 2000 they separated and in 2002 divorced. Their split - specifically the custody battle surrounding Ireland - would be the subject of media attention for years to come. Baldwin has seen the heavy toll that divorce can take. He has been extensively involved in divorce litigation and has witnessed the way that non-custodial parents, especially fathers, are often forced to abandon hopes of equitable rights when it comes to their children. He makes a powerful case for re-examining the way divorce and child custody is decided in this country and levels a scathing attack at what he calls the 'family law industry'. This is an important, informative, and intimate book on a contentious subject that offers hope of finding a better way.
