From children's hearts and minds to a judges desk, and now to your
awareness. You will see letters your children could have written. Maybe, letters
you would have written when you were a child, going through your parent's
divorce. Psychologists and mediators agree that children see, hear and feel
more than their parents are aware of. You will see your children in these
letters. The letters are funny, sad, happy, hopefully and amazing.
This book
is 5 1/2" X 9" 190 letters.

Encounter
Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away
from home, family and responsibilities where in a comfortable, secluded environment
a couple is guided in the discovery of new techniques of communicating and
sharing with one another. It is not a retreat, but it is a program designed
to give couples the opportunity to examine their lives together, their weaknesses
and strong points, their attitudes toward each other and toward their families.
Couples are given the opportunity to look at themselves, privately with their
partner in an honest, face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter.
Engaged Encounter, is
a weekend experience designed to help couples prepare personally and as a
couple for marriage. The focus is on the marriage, not on the wedding. "A
wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime." Couples are shown communication
and decision-making techniques they can use throughout their lifetime together.
Engaged Encounter is specifically designed for quiet reflection and discussion
by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense experience between
two people who are either seriously considering engagement, engaged or recently
married. At no time will the couple be asked to share their private experiences
with the group.

Pro Bono Programs:
One way to find a lawyer to provide
free legal representation in civil cases is by contacting a pro bono program
-- also known as volunteer lawyer programs. Pro bono programs are operated
by state, county or local bar associations; by legal services programs; by
other agencies in the community or independently. They use local attorneys
who have agreed to provide free legal representation to eligible persons
referred by the pro bono program. There are tens of thousands of attorneys
throughout the country who volunteer their services through these programs.
