There will be arguments, negotiations, information seeking maybe from their lawyers, and finally an agreement being made. The author is right on track.
The author evens warns you about the emotional side of the divorce before, during, and after it. Characterisitics of the "aftermath" are: extreme weariness, physical and mental, accompanied by lethargy, poor powers of concentration, disinterest in normal pursuits and sometimes a recognizable degree of clinical depression. This is when the destructive thoughts that divorce engenders in most of its victims, come to the surface and have the greatest power to harm you (Shreeve, 95). The author tells you how the feelings are normal and what to do to help yourself through it. The author warns you against making appeals of emotion. That this can be the wrong thing for you, your ex, and your children. .
The author covers all aspects from the woman's, man's and child's points of view. It is not biased as you would find some newspaper or magazine articles. I believe it does a great job of following Walton's Informal Logic for Critical Argumentation.
If I have paid my child support, my children are happy. My children are happy. Therefore, I have paid my child support. This isn't always a valid argument. You may have paid your child support and your children may be happy but that doesn't mean that paying your child support was the cause of making your children happy. Walton shows how this statement doesn't always make it a valid argument. The cause of the children being happy could be that the children don't see Mom and Dad being upset at each. They could be well adjusted to the divorce. Take it from an eight-year-old. Her mother told her about the father sending two hundred dollars a month. The father didn't visit her very often, but she was aware that he sent money. One day she beamed proudly and said, "My daddy send me hundreds of dollars every month, to help take care of me!" Whether you should tell your children in terms of dollar amounts and specifics is something to play by ear.

In Earl Wasserman's work, "Shelley's Prometheus Unbound: A Critical Reading," written in 1965, Wasserman writes, "During the summer in which Shelley began writing Frankenstein, Byron composed his poem "Prometheus," a celebration of the god's defiance of Jupiter which emphasizes Prometheus" unyielding will, noble suffering, and concern for mankind" (71). ... Such thinking led to the conclusion that the animation of a corpse was merely an electrical problem that more than one researcher set out to solve. ...
