註釋LAW It is difficult to imagine a situation more fraught with potential conflict than that of divorcing parents discussing custody of their children. Professional mediator Lyster claims that despite the inflexibility that often accompanies family breakups, parents can put together custody agreements that are better than those mandated by a court. She aims here to provide guidance for constructing a parenting agreement that favors the child's needs while defusing the tension that can accompany negotiations. Lyster covers everything from medical care to allowing underage marriage to dealing with the parents' new partners. Compromises and creative solutions are suggested; Lyster also offers techniques for keeping the negotiations civil and productive. There is an interesting discussion on parenting arrangements in all kinds of nontraditional families, and important distinctions among states in regard to custody are noted. Legal and family counseling professionals will shiver at Lyster's assertion that the book can be used without professional intervention, but she is careful to provide advice on finding lawyers, custody evaluators, and counselors. A list of support organizations and the clear, pragmatic approach typical of the publisher's books make this a recommended choice for all popular law collections.
