N2  - "A fair and realistic custody agreement protects children's interests when parents split up. But reaching a parenting agreement is often easier said than done, especially when emotions run high. That's where Building a Parenting Agreement That Works can help. This practical, step-by-step guide will show parents exactly how to create a parenting plan that works for everyone. Author Mimi Lyster Zemmelman, a professional mediator, identifies dozens of issues separated parents typically face and systematically presents options to resolve them. Take advantage of practical solutions and sample language to create a workable agreement or renegotiate an existing agreement as your kids grow. The book walks you through all of the parenting issues and challenges you must consider, including: living arrangements and visitation; money issues; health care; education; religion; new partners and surnames; holidays, travel, and grandparent visits; different approaches to discipline and public health measures; alcohol and drug use; and working with professionals. Avoid child custody battles--build a win-win custody agreement that puts your children's needs first and saves you time, money, and grief." --
