from: Elisabeth Schöberl Publishing company: Ueberreuter Price: 10,95 Euro
"Guidebooks may be useful for teens whose parents are separated, but this is a bit too comprehensive - in many places key words would have been enough - some information is simply wrong, for example about the legal situation - and the laws are the ones that are working Many young people are very exact Many terms are borrowed from the Austrian laws and are different from the terms used in Germany and I find it problematic that the book not only contains facts but also tries to give answers to the question ' Why did my parents split up? ' - although that can not answer a book. "
