The country's leading authority on fathers' rights Jeffery M. Leving presents a definitive how-to resource for divorced dads of any age, background, and marriage history. Leving offers targeted guidance and suggests techniques for staying connected with children and dealing with ex-wives--and in some cases a new girlfriend or the wife's new boyfriend--during the divorce and afterwards.

- Reveals how to avoid depression and feelings of guilt that can cause a divorced dad to give up and lose connection with his kids
- Offers ideas for responding to an ex-wife's remarriage, moving, unfounded accusations, and other common issues

How to Be a Good Divorced Dad is practical and down-to-earth and offers dozens of real life examples of dads who have discovered the importance of staying involved in their children's lives.
