Synopsis

Intended as a course text for both family law and child law modules, this work makes the reader aware of the policy considerations underlying the law, with a focus on the latest decisions of the courts and the factors which influence these judgements, aiming to illustrate the essentially discretionary nature of family law. The text covers the legal framework, and analyzes matters likely to occur frequently in practice, those which tend to lead to difficult litigation, those which are a matter of general public interest, and areas where proposed reforms are likely to be implemented.
