Family Law (Palgrave Law Masters) - Softcover

This volume provides a clear and comprehensive account of a rapidly developing subject. Besides detailed coverage of statute and case law, contemporary trends and proposals for reform are included. Written in a clear and straightforward style, the book provides a solid grounding in the subject. The third edition has been completely updated to take into account the Human Rights Act 1998, the new rules on ancillary relief for divorce and the new case law on the domestic violence legislation. It includes the details of the proposals for the new child support system, and House of Lords decisions in the area of child law. Containing a wealth of detail, and fully up to date with the case law, this edition also details useful websites for further research at the end of every chapter.
