Gitlin on Divorce: A Guide to Illinois Family Law provides Illinois attorneys the "secret sauce" to better understand the complexities of divorce law. Written in an understandable, yet erudite manner, Gunnar Gitlin carries on the tradition of providing his professional brothers and sisters with a blueprint of understanding and implementing the law and all of its recent updates. We are all fortunate that GOD (Gitlin On Divorce) delivers to us this invaluable tablet. —Carlton R. Marcyan, Past Chairman and Managing Partner, Schiller, DuCanto & Fleck, Chicago, IL

Gunnar Gitlin is the dean of practicing Illinois family law scholars. His Gitlin on Divorce: A Guide to Illinois Family Law, 4th Edition, is the must-have resource for family law attorneys in Illinois. The work gives the family law practitioner a massive strategic advantage. —Raiford D. Palmer, AAML, Shareholder, STGM, P.C., Chicago, IL

Gitlin on Divorce should be on every divorce lawyer's shelf. It is THE definitive reference and has provided me with guidance more times than I can remember. Gitlin on Divorce is well organized, and the newest rewrite has significantly improved an already-trustworthy collection of information. I quite honestly have come to rely on it more than any other source for both quick answers and more in-depth analysis. My original Gitlin on Divorce book is well worn and scarred. The electronic availability of the revised version (which continues to receive revisions), has improved my efficiency—allowing me to pass along a monetary benefit to my clients. Whether you are a rookie or a seasoned veteran of divorce law, you should not be without Gitlin on Divorce. It's that good! —Ross Schreiter, Martoccio & Martoccio, Hinsdale, IL
