BALDWIN BECOMES A HERO TO THE DOWNTRODDEN DADS

LATEST: Movie star ALEC BALDWIN has become a hero to divorcing dads after announcing he's planning a book about how to beat America's legal system when splitting from your wife.


Alec Baldwin at The American Museum of Natural History presents The Museum Gala. New York City, USA - 16.11.06

The PEARL HARBOR star admits he's often patted on the back by weary fathers who have spent a fortune fighting the system in an effort to see more of the children they had with ex-wives - and given up.

Baldwin, who fought a much-publicised and bitter battle with ex KIM BASINGER over custody of their daughter IRELAND, intends to release his new self-help guide next spring (07) - and angry ex-husbands cannot wait to get their hands on it.

He says, "I'd be sitting in the first class cabin of a plane, I'd be in a bar, I'd be in a restaurant, I'd be somewhere, I'd be in a line at the baseball game, and I became a kind of... lightning rod for this issue.

"Men would come up to me and say, 'I fought and fought and fought and I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless units of my own psychic energy on this whole thing and then I finally quit,' and I would be heartbroken."

Baldwin will offer tips about pre-nuptial agreements and divorce battle fight plans in an effort to help other fathers beat the system and win more time with their kids in custody battles.

He adds, "I saw that no matter how much conciliation I brought to the table and how much I had hoped for on the other side... the attorneys were calling all the shots and they were just going to run this thing right into the ground. They didn't care."
