Books we suggest you read!

has recommended several of these books
for non custodial mothers to read.







We have read some of these books
and add other books that can help.




If you are representing yourself in court

understand how these men think and how they use the system
to get custody of our children.
Whores Of The Court; The Fraud
Of Psychiatric Testimony and The
Rape Of American Justice
Overcoming the Devastation
of Legal Abuse Syndrome
Mothers on Trial: The Battle
for Children and Custody
Managing Your Divorce:
A Guide for Battered Women

National Council of the Juvenile and Family Court Judges,
Dean Louis W. McHardy, Executive Director;
Family Violence Department Resource Center on Domestic Violence
Child Protection and Custody, Meredith Hofford, M.A., Director

This booklet is intended to be used by battered women who are
representing themselves, without an attorney, in court cases involving
child custody. This is not a recommendation to go into court
unrepresented. In fact, we start the booklet with a piece on
"How to Find an Attorney."
What we recommend strongly is that if there is any dispute or conflict
about the arrangements for custody and visitation, get a lawyer!
Battered women have spoken repeatedly about the loss of custody as
the greatest threat in their lives, saying that it is more painful than the
physical violence they have suffered. The stakes are extremely high in
custody disputes; get a lawyer.
