Product Description The groundbreaking classic, now revised, updated and expanded, covers the legal, financial and emotional realities of creating two happy and stable homes for children in the often difficult and confusing aftermath of a divorce.
Amazon.com Review According to the Stepfamily Association of America, 60 percent of all families are breaking up, and custody and visitation issues loom large in the lives of many parents. Isolina Ricci's Mom's House, Dad's House guides separated, divorced, and remarried parents through the hassles and confusions of setting up a strong, working relationship with the ex-spouse in order to make two loving homes for the kids. This expanded and revised edition (the book was originally published in 1980) includes emotional and legal tools, as well as many reference materials and resources. As one parent said of the first edition, "This book is my friend."
Must Read!! September 19, 2008 This books gives excellent insight into the difficult task of navigating a two-household family. It not only provides the reader practical tools for easing the transition for their children, but also addresses the necessary relationship between you and your ex-spouse. 'Mom's House, Dad's House' hits the key topics co-parenting in a straightforward but insightful way.

Thank you for getting the book to me in a timely manner and good condition.
SAVE YOURSELF SOME GRIEF AND GET THIS BOOK October 25, 2007 Start the divorce off right if that is possible. Especially when comes to the kids. As a man who has custody of OUR child I respect and appreciate this books insights. You see that this is the norm for different situations so one can watch for it and react appropriately. If you cant be friend's then you as matter as well be "corporate friends" and try to make things work for your kids sake. You would'nt be rude or demeaning to another co-worker so dont treat your ex-spouse that way either. Good luck!
Unnecessary for divorced parents who already get along May 30, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
My five-year-old daughter's dad and I have joint custody and joint placement. Therefore, my daughter travels between our houses (about 8 blocks apart) every few days. I was hoping this book would help her dad and I make the most of our daughter's situation, but it seems to focus on parents who do not get along. Perhaps, because my daughter does not remember ever having two parents in the same home, this book isn't as relevant to her as it may be for some. The book seemed to focus on picking up the pieces, rather than just growing as a nontraditional family. I will say one positive thing: the book stresses avoiding the use of "ex husband" and "ex wife" and replacing with "my daughter's dad". I feel that makes for a better situation.
