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
