I've been reading "With This Ring" by the Hon. Louis A. Burke, a judge of the California "Conciliation Court" that was the inspiration for modern family courts and for the no-fault divorce system as it was originally intended. He talks about how he worked with various kinds of troubled couples, and the detailed agreements he helped them work out to heal their marriages. It's available at amazon.com.
Burke had been a divorce lawyer, a local-government lawyer, and an Army officer and military judge in occupied Germany. He later became a Court of Appeal judge.
