Family law is increasingly seen as pivotal area of legal scholarship and this authoritative text guides students and practitioners through the legislation and case law in a stimulating and thought-provoking manner. It analyses fully those matters which occur frequently in practice and those which confront legislators, judges and practitioners with a special challenge. International conventions are having a growing impact on the shape and content of legal rules, therefore a new chapter on child abduction has been included.Hayes and Williams reflects the changing face of family law and family structures. The book opens with a comprehensive account of private child law and is followed by a full analysis of law and procedures relating to child protection. All the child law chapters incorporate significant recent developments. This new edition will be appreciated and enjoyed by students and prove to be an invaluable source of information and ideas for practitioners."
