The break-up of a relationship is one of the hardest things you can go through. And during the confusion that accompanies it, you're supposed to make sensible decisions about the fair division of money, and possibly the future of your children.

Breaking Up gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the family law system so you'll know your legal rights. It will arm you with information on:

- how to choose a lawyer to represent you
- how to represent yourself, including preparing your own documents and how to cross-examine
- how to get the most favourable division of property and a good result for your kids
- how to save costs and/or access alternative ways to resolve your dispute.

You'll also learn about important new laws, such as those dealing with financial rights for de facto couples, pre-nups, shared parenting and much more. You'll even find a section on lawyers' negotiating tricks.

Breaking Up will equip you to get the result you want at the right cost.
