In addition to the research services described in the family law section of our legal research division, NLRG publishes a number of publications of specific interest to family law attorneys.

Divorce Litigation

Divorce Litigation was NLRG's monthly family law journal, and included articles by the members of our family law team as well as a large variety of outside authors, covering the entire field of family law. This subscription publication was discontinued on March 31, 2007. However, the 15-year index is still online and back issues are still available for $25 each.

Equitable Distribution Journal

Equitable Distribution Journal (EDJ) the monthly publication which dealt exclusively with equitable distribution was a 12-page journal containing a single main article, plus practice tips and extensive case notes on recently reported cases. Like Divorce Litigation, this publication ceased printing in April 2007. Back issues of the EDJ are available for $25 per issue. For more information, please call either Brett Turner or Anne de Angelis at 800-727-6574.

Equitable Distribution of Property

Equitable Distribution of Property is the leading nationwide treatise on the law of equitable distribution. The first edition was written in 1982 by a former head of NLRG's family law team, Lawrence J. Golden; the present second edition was written in 1994 by the present head of that team, Brett Turner. In nine chapters covering over 900 pages, this important work cites cases from all fifty states on such issues as appreciation in separate property, division of retirement benefits, and division of professional goodwill. Appellate courts have confirmed the treatise's value and accuracy by citing it in over 100 reported decisions to date.
