 poor job of telling how to deal with problems January 8, 2009
The author does a fine job of outlining the problems with the lawyers, and judges even the system. However, he does a very poor job of actually telling you how to deal with the problems. Even the information he gives doesn't follow through. What do you do if you are accused of creating evidence? Are there kinds of evidence that will make you look like you are sticking your nose in the other parent's business where it does not belong? All in all, if you are not one of Mr. White's personal friends, reviewing this book as a favor you won't find much help here. Since I don't have the money to hire a PI, I am screwed. I am really out-gunned by my x, as far as money is concerned so this book pretty much convinced me to settle for whatever he is willing to give me.
A Waste Of Money January 8, 2009
This guy loves telling his own war stories and blowing his own horn. Guy, is the only good guy in this book. He writes as though he invented being a detective. The information in this book is limited in scope to primarily Scottsdale, Arizona and is as general as the horoscope in the newspaper.
Things he tells you that won't work:
Hire a good attorney. But he doesn't tell you how to do that. He says there aren't many out here, he even sued one. He says they will shake you down and lie to you about your case.
Pay your attorney a small retainer. Attorneys, especially good attorneys, don't accept small retainers.
Advice like, "stay on top of your attorney, but don't harass them", good trick. Just how are you suppose to do that? By the third unanswered call in 30 days the attorney thinks you are a jerk.
Be aggressive, but not too aggressive. What does that mean?
Wants you to do that you can't afford... Hire Guy J. White. Have a family attorney there when you hire a child custody attorney. Pay someone to gather medical and financial records. Expensive and probably illegal.
There is nothing original in this book. How many times have you seen the phrase, "People don't plan to fail; they fail to plan." well it is in this book also. Don't waste your money.
 the BEST guide for custody issues August 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is well written, researched and provides excellent advice and guidance on what it takes for someone in the midst of a divorce to investigate, prepare and succeed in custody matters. It is readily apparent that White is an experienced and expert investigator and KNOWS HIS STUFF. This book is outstanding and a must have guide for anyone who is dealing with custody issues and who cares about his/her kids. The author approaches the book from the standpoint of what is in the best interests of the children and what it takes to protect their interests. This perspective reflects the author's ethics and goals in ensuring that children have the benefits provided by good parents, and avoid the traps and lack of investigation that will frequently cause them to be awarded to bad ones. As an attorney (non-divorce) who has recently filed for divorce and is experiencing firsthand a series of nasty tricks and tactics by my ex, I can tell you that this book will help you, and give you great ideas and hope in any custody battle where your childs welfare is at stake. Those of us who are inexperienced in the custody battles and court and spousal shenanigans that can damage our children need and will benefit from Mr. Whites expertise and sound advice. This book is simply THE BEST! Buy it!
 Too much self-congratulation May 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The basic premise of this book is that everyone is incompetent: every lawyer, every judge and even the parents. The only smart person is the author and this tone gets tiresome fast. While there are a few tidbits here, Mr. White mostly brags about winning cases where the facts are on his side (so he won custody away from a woman who left her child alone each night while she partied and had affairs.... well, who wouldn't have won on those facts?).
Asking your lawyer simple questions, like what do we need to prove our case and how can I help, should get you further than this book.

I expected so much more from the reviews. I appreciate that this book showed me I was going in the right direction but It should have gone much farther.
