Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This edition addresses all the major legislative changes to date, including the Family Law (Divorce) Act 1996, the Family Law Act 1995, and the Domestic Violence Act 1996. It deals in detail with property issues, adoption, guardianship and custody, and protection against spousal misconduct, as well as the major topics of divorce, separation and nullity. The work comprehensively describes the various financial and property orders (including property and pension adjustment orders) the courts may now make and this chapter, together with the chapter on matrimonial property, the family home and succession, is vital reading not only for family lawyers but also for conveyancing and commercial law practitioners.
