Family Law: Principles, Policy and Practice

Family law is increasingly seen as a pivotal area of legal scholarship and this authoritative text guides students and practitioners through the legislation and case law in a stimulating and thought-provoking manner. It analyses fully those matters which occur frequently in practice and those which confront legislators, judges and practitioners with a special challenge. International conventions are having a growing impact on the shape and content of legal rules, therefore a new chapter devoted entirely to child abduction has been included.
