Ancillary Relief Handbook

Ancillary Relief Handbook has established itself as a first resort for thousands of matrimonial lawyers. By combining a clear explanation of the legal principles with straightforward advice on practice and procedure, this is the essential reference work for the busy family lawyer. The new edition has been thoroughly revised and contains detailed analysis of developments in the law since the landmark cases of Miller/McFarlane and Charman, and includes practical guidance as to how these developments should be applied. The changing attitude to pre-nuptial contracts is considered, as are the problems of advising in a time of financial stringency. At a time when mixed and potentially confusing messages can be derived from some judicial decisions, this book remains a source of sound and informed advice.
