Books Winning Custody: A Woman's Guide to Retaining Custody of Her Children
Books and Publications Average Rating:

Rating: - What a waste of my time!
I am a woman who is a psychotherapist and who has also been involved in the custody process from many angles, both professionally and personally. I find this book to be sexist at best. The book seems to advocate mothers to pretend to be the 'good' Mom versus really being a good Mom. This book does not include any guidance for men or couples, only for women. It sounds like Deedra considers herself a victim, and I have a feeling she needs to take another look at this aspect. I wonder how her kids and ex husband feel about her and her book??? Not worth your time or money.

Rating: - Protecting kids from legal battles
I've known Deedra Hunter for years and have found her insights to be practical in protecting kids during legal battles. She will come alongside to act as your 'custody coach' to help you out of the fog of a legal battle to move forward and rebuild your life.

Rating: - This book won't help
Deedra Hunter thinks that it is only a tragedy when women are damaged by the custody experience. I have news for her the custody process is humiliating, infuriating, and degrading for men as well as women. Hunter encourages women to see themselves as victims of men and the courts and that a mother's love is more important than father's love. From my point of view the courts spend a lot of time protecting women and they have always had the sisterhood behind them. I don't know how to fix this mess but I am sure this book won't help.

Rating: - Are you kidding?
A woman needs advice on getting custody like a sandwich needs advice to include bread. If you're looking for a positive book on how to make things better, written by a psychologist who's not trying to rationalize her own personal problems, try "Divorce Poison: Protecting the Parent-Child Bond from a Vindictive Ex", by Richard Warshak.
