Amazon Customer Review "I’d definitely highly recommend this book to anyone about to go through, or already going through, the UK Family Court Process. The author sets out in very clear, simple language what will be involved and the different scenarios that could be faced. Reading ' Eyes Wide Open' was therefore the best preparation I could have had- it gave me a real confidence boost when I went to court.
Having lawyers represent both sides in Family Court could possibly escalate disagreements rather than resolve them. The four main benefits I got from this book were as follows;
1. It helped me to break away from old habits of negative thinking and a conflict based mindset, leading to a much more positive approach.
2. The ethos of this book, plus the help of a McKenzie friend in court, both allowed me to focus on the children's best interests and the goal of finding a workable solution, leading to very positive outcome for our children.
3. It enabled me to make informed decisions while avoiding the expense of taking on a lawyer.
4. It allowed me to speak for myself."
