Property Division in Divorce Proceedings: A Fifty State Guide

by John DeWitt Gregory, Janet Richards, Sheryl L. Wolf

This is the first single-volume treatise comparing and explaining the different state approaches to marital property on a topic-by-topic basis--with analysis by experts on both the common law and community property systems. It helps you grasp the underlying principles and judicial trends driving today's court decisions. And it lets you quickly identify those key rulings and statutes in other jurisdictions likely to affect outcomes in your own cases. By distilling all this information into one volume, the book virtually eliminates the time you now spend cross-checking multi-volume references and state-specific source, especially in first-impression cases. It includes all the major rulings, extensive citations and statutory language from all fifty states.
