In this episode, I share a quick review of Dad’s Child Custody Action Plan by David Zahra and focus on five things I really liked about the book. I talk about how it breaks down courtroom etiquette, documentation and evidence, choosing the right lawyer, understanding judges, and creating a proactive parenting plan. These are things that are useful not just for custody cases, but for navigating court systems in general.

I’m not compensated for this review—I bought the book myself and wanted to share what stood out. While I wish the audiobook QR code had worked, I found the book to be practical, easy to follow, and genuinely helpful. If you’re going through a custody situation or want to better understand how to advocate for yourself and your kids, this is a resource worth looking into.
