Reviews:

"Child Support Guidelines: Interpretation and Application is a tremendously valuable resource.... With the increasing complexity of income definitions, deviations from the guidelines, and the increasing body of case law on the subject due to the federalization of the area of child support, this book provides not only the case law authorities on the issues, but provides helpful arguments that are needed by anyone litigating these issues. It is truly a monumental work of great significance to this area and is certainly the most comprehensive book on the topic to date. My congratulations go to Mrs. Morgan...."
—Lawrence D. Diehl, Chairman, Legislative Committee of the Family Law Section of the Virginia State Bar, Fellow, American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers

"Child Support Guidelines ... is invaluable in assisting attorneys in formulating winning arguments and locating persuasive case law.... The book provides effective arguments for and against each point, as well as myriad citations to the applicable federal and state statutes and key state decisions.... A must-have tool for the family law practitioner."
— Melvyn B. Frumkes, The Florida Bar Journal
