"Texans file between 85,000 and 100,000 divorces each year," says Ed Sherman, author of How to Do Your Own Divorce in Texas, a Divorce Specialist Attorney and founder of the self-help legal movement. Since the first edition came out in 1980 approximately half a million people have saved hundreds to thousands of dollars each using his book. This might explain why the Texas Bar tried and failed to suppress Sherman's book and other self-help legal information five years ago.

Texas divorce laws are subject to change every other year when the Texas Legislature meets. The new 9th Edition of How to Do Your Own Divorce in Texas is completely up to date with legislation that went into effect September 1, 2003. Not even the state's own online statures are current yet, but Sherman's new book is. Here are 5 ways this book can help you save money and get a better divorce.
