Synopsis

This first edition of Family Law offers a fresh, clear and concise introduction to the subject. Designed to map directly onto undergraduate courses, the book provides an overview of the major issues and debates in family law in England and Wales. Current changes are explained and critically evaluated. Mary Welstead and Susan Edwards begin by discussing the changing definition of family. They cover both adult relationships and child issues. In addition to marriage, divorce, family property and death of a partner, Family Law deals with issues such as civil partnership, domestic violence and the role of the state in children's upbringing.

Overall, this is a joy to read as it is such a page turner. Everywhere basic material is enlivened with illustration of an innovative type, critique and comment: a much livelier read than a law textbook normally is, without compromising the scholarship . The Denning Law Journal 2006 A useful guide and an interesting read . TSG Life, 2006
