Before death us do part: a do-it-yourself guide to divorce

A humourous but educational approach looking at the process of how to obtain a divorce in Australia. Using the forum of a talk-back radio program, callers with questions about divorce are dealt with by the announcer, Abby Wright, in a clear and informative style. The program is accompanied by a User Guide and can be used as an educational tool in demonstrating the process of obtaining a divorce in Australia.
