Book Reviews of Nolo's Essential Guide to Divorce

Book Review: Don't buy this book if you are looking for info specific to the laws of your state.
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this book because on the front cover it says: "Covers the laws of your state." Baloney! This book does not tell you what the law is in your particular state. Whatever topic that is talked about in the book, sooner or later you'll read the phrase: "In some states" or "In many states". But almost never does this book specifically tell you what the law is in your particular state. If it can't tell you that, then what good is it? And over and over again the book tells you to consult an attorney.
If you are looking for a book that will give you specific information about the divorce laws in your state; this book isn't it. I'm sending it back.
