Wasser’s review of Joryn’s book, “I Never Saw My Father Again.” “Joryn Jenkins‘ I Never Saw My Father Again makes clear that individuals destined for dissolution can be masters of their own destiny by using modern resolution tools to stay out of the courtroom. Family Law practitioners and parents alike have a responsibility to children to settle issues and avoid the emotional and financial devastation of litigation.
