  'What I particularly liked about this book was its clarity...At the end of each chapter there is a summary which must be a considerable revision aid for students...This book...tackles the issues which practitioners have to deal with on a day to day basis. A good, clear grounding in family law which would be of use to students to provide them with a very good basis for thinking about pursuing a career as a family lawyer.' - New Law Journal Family Law provides a concise, up-to-date and comprehensive account of a complex and rapidly changing area of law. It is written in a clear and readable style and includes coverage of developments in the law (notably the Children Act 1989 and Child Support Act 1991) and proposals for reform. It is 'user friendly' with cross-referencing and summaries and exercises to reinforce the material covered and to stimulate discussion. While intended primarily for degree level Family Law (and child law) courses, it will be invaluable to students on professional courses. Those studying A Level Family Law, and magistrates, social workers and interested layment will also find it useful.
