David Pisarra’s Dad’s Child Custody Action Plan is a no-nonsense guide for fathers navigating the treacherous waters of family court. It’s direct, personal, and practical. Pisarra lays out a roadmap from preparing paperwork to presenting evidence that’s clearly geared toward empowering dads to take control of their custody battles. He covers everything from legal strategy and courtroom behavior to emotional preparation and communication tactics, all while reminding readers that the legal system isn’t always fair but can be managed with preparation and grit.

Reading this book felt like sitting down with a seasoned lawyer who’s been through it all and isn’t afraid to call out the system’s flaws. Pisarra’s tone is conversational and raw, which makes the heavy topic a bit easier to digest. I appreciated his honesty, especially when he warns about the limits of AI research or the traps dads often fall into by not preparing thoroughly. Some parts made me laugh, not because they were funny, but because of how blunt and relatable they were. It’s rare to find a legal guide that isn’t dry, but this one has heart and bite.

Still, it’s not polished in the traditional sense, and that’s kind of the point. Pisarra isn’t writing for academics—he’s writing for guys in the trenches. At times, the repetition and scattered layout felt a bit chaotic, like flipping through a stack of Post-it notes. But the core advice is rock solid. The “Kid Inventory,” the courtroom scripts, the emphasis on preparation—all of it is gold for someone trying to survive the emotional and strategic rollercoaster of family court. You can feel the author’s passion for helping dads reclaim their role, and it’s genuinely moving.

This isn’t a book for the bookshelf; it’s one for the glove compartment, your nightstand, or your gym bag. If you’re a dad facing a custody battle, especially one without deep pockets or a supportive legal team, this book is for you. It doesn’t sugarcoat the process, and that’s what makes it powerful. It’s real, raw, and ridiculously helpful.
