It's still up to dateBy jimtomThe Divorce Handbook has been updated 3 times since 1984. It continues to be a basic guide, but you must talk to a lawyer before entering into a divorce proceeding so you know what to expect and after to remember his or her advice. Laws in the 50 states change from time to time and a lawyer will bring you up to date and guide you.
