    There are a myriad of sites offering a wealth of information on divorce. Some are better than others, of course. Some are much better than others. Some are just out to take your money. While it is impossible to list them all, here are the major decent ones I have been able to find.  Many of these site contain good writings to help you understand the process, provide emotional support, give helpful hints on how do divorce with the least amount of pain and to preseve the most money, contain "make-you-feel-good success stories and an equal number of horror stories, provide links to bulletin boards to 
    share "war stories," etc.

    Links to other interesting sites
      Flying Solo, a column written by a family and elder law specialist, deals primarily with domestic relations questions from the practical to the esoteric. Topics range from divorce tips to bankruptcy concerns in divorce, mediation, military issues, retirement division, remarriage and stepfamilies. This is the same column that runs in the Daily Press every Tuesday.

    . Lawyers Weekly USA, a nationally recognized site presenting timely and useful information and trends in the legal field.

      'Lectric Law Library  An absolutely fabulous legal (and somewhat adult) oriented site.  A must see when you have an hour or two to play around.  Humor and fact (and some real legal information as well) all rolled into one. It's what I wanted this site to be, but it's already been done.

      World Wide Web Virtual Law Library  Maintained by the Indiana University School of Law, this web site is the one I wish I had created, but didn't have the thousands of students and hundreds of staff with which to do it.   A truly world wide site, and growing daily.  While you are over there, just think about me sometime, and maybe come back here to visit for old times sake.

    Court TV? Well, yes, if you can believe it.  Some current "hot" news, fun stuff, interesting article explaining legal concepts (encyclopedia style, but written for the non-lawyer)  and other good links over there.

      The Kelly Blue Book is actually on-line and (currently) free.  Check out the value of your vehicle at this easy to use site.

    The Virginia Capital Classroom is an interesting site for a quick tour of the legislative process.  It has a Visitor's Center, a Kids' Korner and a general citizen's guide to resources.
