  Appropriate for courses in Family Law, one of the most popular options on LLB courses. Also undergraduate and postgraduate courses in children's law, and courses on social work and social policy, where a knowledge of family law is needed. The primary aim of the textbook is to explain the law, while at the same time informing students of the social reality in which the law operates and outlining the different theoretical perspectives from which to approach the subject. The book is fully up-to-date, and includes topics not covered adequately by existing books, such as the Human Rights Act and family law, the elderly, and the legal regulation of pregnancy.

  Family Law provides a comprehensive account of one of the most dynamic and contentious subjects in law today. The book takes a contextual approach, exploring the subject not just in terms of the law itself, but also in terms of the complex social, philosophical and political forces that surround family life and bear a direct influence upon it. The author prompts students to question and critically evaluate the concepts and issues discussed for a deeper understanding.
