"Dear Client" explains the process by which information is gathered and presented to resolve the legal issues involved in obtaining a divorce. Through the book I have provided some of my clients' case histories as examples of what might be encountered in your divorce situation.

“The issues facing families involved in divorce litigation are becoming increasingly complex. Dear Client appears to offer a thorough and sensitive examination of the issue and would be a useful tool to educate those going through a divorce.”
BETTY CASTOR, PRESIDENT
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA

“As a comprehensive treatise on the subject of divorce, Dear Client provides easy reading. Ms. Ostman writes in language understandable to the layman and the work is leavened with several poignant case histories illustrating the plight and confusion of those involved in this sad dilemma. In a lighter vein, Ms. Ostman has traced the history of love and marriage down through the ages, as well as the changes in moral attitudes from the Greco-Roman era, through the outrageous sexuality of the eighteenth century, to the present day.”

“Ms. Ostman’s skillful guidance will help you see that all divorces have common elements. Through her telling of the personal stories of some of her clients who have been where you are now, along with her clear and explicit instructions on how to proceed, you will come to understand that divorce is an experience that people have to deal with step by step. The more you understand what is happening to you, the more empowered you will be to deal with this critical life event.”
