Two media-savvy authors—Lynn Toler, Judge of TV's Divorce Court, and Deborah Hutchison, creator of the award-winning "Bill Your Ex" system—offer concrete, conflict-free solutions to the difficult situations that arise between family and friends.
Did you ever lose a friend over an unpaid debt? Get stuck with a houseguest who has no intention of moving out? Quarrel with a relative over use of the family car?

Here's detailed advice on how to choose the right words—and enforce them, too. To make it really easy, they provide perforated forms with model agreements for lending money or property, adult children moving home, sharing a pet, taking care of aging parents, and more.
