Family Law and Practice 2019 (CLP Legal Practice Guides)

Family law is a dynamic subject that is constantly changing and provides a challenge to everyone involved with it. Family Law and Practice offers a clear picture of the practical considerations that arise when advising in a divorce case. It sets out the divorce procedure, explains the financial implications of divorce and includes advice on ensuring that clients receive the money that they are owed. The book also outlines the principles governing the care and protection of children, the remedies available for victims of domestic abuse and the public funding regime in family cases. This new edition has been fully updated to include the new fast-track financial procedure and financial procedure pilots. The specimen orders have also been updated to reflect the new Standard Financial and Enforcement Orders. The book is fully up to date on case law including the Supreme Court decision in Owens v Owens; Amin v Amin on enforcement; Versteegh v Versteegh on pre-nuptial agreements; and Re M (Children), which was the appeal from J v B (Ultra-Orthodox Judaism: Transgender) to the Court of Appeal.
