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 changes to the Family Procedure Rules 2010 on non-court dispute resolution and the latest position in relation to the implementation of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. The book is fully up to date on case law including Standish v Standish (2024) on the ‘matrimonialisation’ of assets, N v J (2024) on conduct in financial remedy proceedings, SP v AL and PL and CL (2024) on pensions, HO v TL (2023) and DH v RH(2024) on costs in financial proceedings, and CG v DL (2023) on financial relief.
