This manual is the only book designed for both residential and non-residential parents. Formatted and printed in a back-to-back manner, the book encourages both sides to understand the other's point of view, and so enables both parents to make the most of time spent with the children.How To Parent with Your Ex provides support for the difficult situation the non-residential parent is in and practical, to-the-point advice about how to reap the most benefits from the visitation time available. Conversely, it addresses the role of the residential parent and the need to understand the changing relationships the child is going through. By focusing on the child, both parents are able to solidify a special relationship with the child and maintain necessary, positive communication with the ex-spouse.Appendices for this text include various parenting organizations, publication resources, related websites and sample visitation plans and schedules.

      A family law attorney, Sember ("The Visitation Handbook: Your Complete Guide to " "Parenting Apart") presents a flip book for divorced parents -one half for residential parents, the other for nonresidential parents. Each part offers commonsense advice on similar topics, e.g., long-distance parenting, dealing with the other parent, holidays, and scheduling, with content customized to the appropriate parenting role. Sember's level of empathy is as refreshing as it is unexpected; she focuses on the child's best interests à la Mary Ellen Hannibal in "Good Parenting Through Your Divorce", often advising readers to suck it up for their kids' sake. Direct and encouraging in tone, Sember frequently dictates conduct (e.g., speak with respect, do not yell) and presents lists of dos, don'ts, things to say, and things not to say. If you're looking for affordable advice (from a lawyer, no less), this is good counsel. Highly recommended for public libraries and special collections that don't already own Sember's "The Visitation Handbook", a flip book covering the same material. -Douglas C. Lord, Connecticut State Lib., Hartford
