“I have been through some of the worst of contentious divorce litigation,” AlecBaldwin declares in A Promise to Ourselves. Using a very personal approach, he offers practical guidance to help others avoid the anguish he has endured.
An Academy and Tony Award nominee and a 2007 recipient of Golden Globe, SAG, and Television Critics Association Awards for best actor in a comedy, Alec Baldwin is one of the best-known, most successful actors in the world. His relationship with Kim Basinger, the Academy Award–winning actress, lasted nearly a decade. They have a daughter named Ireland, and for a time, theirs seemed to be the model of a successful Hollywood marriage. But in 2000 they separated and in 2002 divorced. Their split---specifically the custody battle surrounding Ireland---would be the subject of media attention for years to come.
In his own life and others’, Baldwin has seen the heavy toll that divorce can take---psychologically, emotionally, and financially. He has been extensively involved in divorce litigation, and he has witnessed the way that noncustodial parents, especially fathers, are often forced to abandon hopes of equitable rights when it comes to their children. He makes a powerful case for reexamining and changing the way divorce and child custody is decided in this country and levels a scathing attack at what he calls the “family law industry.”
When it comes to his experiences with judges, court-appointed therapists, and lawyers, Baldwin pulls no punches. He casts a light on his own divorce and the way the current family law system affected him, his ex-wife, and his daughter, as well as many other families. This is an important, informative, and deeply felt book on a contentious subject that offers hope of finding a better way.

It's an excellent book. I have read it several times. It was discussed at the time it came out at this site. If Alec can free up, he and I will be on a talk show together to discuss parental alienation and family courts.

Wasn't Baldwin just a 'gas' in Team America - World Police, I just loved him in that movie...
Wait, was that a puppet; or was it a real image of Silver Screen Domino kim bassinger's ex-boyfriend jack ryan?

BTW search on this site for my thread with material from Asst. Professor Jeannie Suk of Harvard Law.
She was interviewed in Alec's book. She notes that the messes in Family Law are due to the underlying premise upon which ALL the changes in law are based. That men are presumed to be violent. Therefore the law has to protect women from these monsters. Of course she does not say it like that.
The Feminists and all their biased and misleading studies won. Things like the outdated, discredited Duluth model are used to pass huge laws like VAWA.Ridgefield, Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way, Universe, Creation

It is a milestone when celebrities publicly support Men's Rights. So yeah, many kudos to Alec Baldwin.
