  This book provides a stimulating, carefully planned introduction to the key issues and debates within family law from some of the leading authorities within their field.

It is essential reading for anybody studying or practising in the field of family law.

  Each chapter is concerned with one of the main areas of family law (such as adoption, domestic violence, marrriage and divorce), and covers a range of themes, including the public/private divide, balancing the interests of family members, moral values and family law, cost and the legal system, and the enforcement of family law. The book reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the debates on family law, and the difficult social and political issues which these have raised.
