Price, a family law attorney who has family members with special needs, considers how children with special needs are relevant in the arena of divorce, and how attorneys can make the system work better for these children and their families in family court cases. She reviews a variety of types of special needs; how to recognize and handle issues in family law cases; how special needs affect a child in a divorce case; why child support guidelines and standard visitation do not meet the needs of these children; legislation, case law, and parenting plans; a model child support chart, parenting plan, and modifications; maintenance and property distribution; roles of the parties; school, law enforcement, and religion issues; and guardianship, special needs trusts, and other estate planning issues. Sample forms and checklists are included, as is a CD-ROM. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
