You said, "for better or worse," but you never imagined it

could get this bad. How bad?

• You come home from work to find your wife

has left - and she's taken every stick of
furniture with her.
• Before leaving town, your wife drained your
bank account, maxed-out your credit cards,
and wrote a fistful of bad checks.
• Your wife wins custody of the kids - and
child support - by falsely accusing you of
molesting the children.

Separation and divorce are always emotionally devastat-

ing. They can also be a financial disaster. The law is stacked
in favor of wives, and you can bet The Bitch will be looking
out for Number One. You've got to have a plan if you want
to keep from doing something stupid, something that's
going to cost you for a long, long time.
Marrying the wrong person is a serious mistake. Don't
make another mistake by letting things get out of hand.
This book will show you how to protect yourself - how
to take charge and stay in control - how to get through
a divorce without losing your assets, or your pride.

There's No Such Thing
as A "Nice" Divorce

This book is written by a man, for men, as a practical and

tactical guide to handling divorce. It's a no-holds-barred
discussion of defenses against being worked over and hung out
to dry during a divorce. There's a real need for this book because
many men are in need of "consciousness raising." Many men act
as if they believe the feminist propaganda that "it's a man's
world," and don't realize how badly the legal deck is stacked
against them, in both marriage and divorce.
The women's liberation movement has caused restructuring of
the laws, to gain "equal rights" for women. At the same time,
it has carefully avoided demanding equal responsibility from
women. The law often requires the husband to support his ex-
wife, but no law obliges her to continue to cook for him or do
his laundry. The result is that the law treats women as not just
legally "equal," but specially privileged. This is why, in a di-
vorce, it's the husband who usually gets it in the shorts.
