Family Law and Practice is one of a series of books written by qualified lawyers from The College of law for use by trainee solicitors on the legal Practice Course. Each book in the series is published annually to provide a thorough and up-to-date introduction to a specific area of legal practice and includes model forms and worked examples where necessary. As such, they are an essential first point of reference for any student or practitioner working on an unfamiliar subject. Family Law and Practice provides a thorough grounding in the practical considerations that arise when advising in a divorce case (including the implications of the White v White judgment). It sets out the divorce procedure, explains the financial implications of divorce, such as housing needs and child maintenance, and includes advice on ensuring that clients receive the money they are owed. The book also outlines the principies governing the care and protection of children and the remedies available for victims of domestic violence and the new public funding regime in family cases. Family Law and Practice, accompanied by the important legislation at the centre of family law work, is an excellent resource for the developing family lawyer
