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 pilot scheme for the fast-track (express) procedure for financial orders 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 LP v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on child maintenance, NA v LA on financial relief, Helliwell v Entwhistle on pre-nuptial agreements, HK v SS and Lord Chancellor v 79 Divorced Couples on divorce procedure, Standish v Standish on the matrimonialisation of assets and V v V on disability as a s25 factor.
