language, Isolina Ricci charts a constructive course for divorcing
parents. The chief benefactors of this modern classic will be the
children."
—Richard Louv, author of Childhood's Future and
The Web of Life
"This book should be a required textbook for every
divorcing parent. If both parents would read even designated portions
and have meaningful dialogue, it could result in the substantial
reduction of stress in what is very often the most difficult period in
one's life. At the same time it could help avoid or reduce the traumatic
effects that divorce usually causes to the children."
—Michael J.
Ostrow, President, American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers
"Mom's House, Dad's House is a wonderful resource
for parents before and after separation, providing guidance about how to
maintain their roles as parents so as to minimize the effect of the
separation on their children. This book gives parents a roadmap of the
problems which can arise, how to resolve them and, indeed, how to avoid
them."
—Justice Donald B. King, California Court of Appeal
(Retired)
