"I LOVED this book. When I found it, I was dealing with the fact that my ex was trying his best to avoid his child support responsibilities. I received a copy of a letter from his attorney to my attorney which I could hardly read - it upset me so with the lies and character assassination contained in the letter. I listened to Chapter 1 and nearly fell into a ball to cry myself to death. I was so depressed and thrown off balance by how evil people can be and yes, I'd experienced it all first hand for 14 years. Somehow, someway, I made it to Chapter 2, 3 then 4 and I've listened to Chapters 5 and 6 three times each. The empowerment I felt after completing this book is beyond words. I'm a nice person and I hate drama. I just wanted my due and was only asking for what was legitimately owed me. My attitude and outlook have soared since finishing this book. I even found acceptance as to what the court may or may not deem appropriate in my circumstance in regard to reimbursement for medical expenses and college expenses for my two children. What this book gave me was far more than any court can order reimbursed. I am so, so grateful!!!"
