Two Homes, One Childhood

Robert Emery's developmental stage-by-stage framework is exactly what divorcing parents need but rarely find — most co-parenting books are either lawyerly or emotional, and this one is neither. The Kirkus endorsement and adoption by family courts and mediators tell you the research is respected by the people who work with these families every day. The repetitive delivery noted by Publishers Weekly is a real critique but it does not undercut the book's core usefulness.
