Details

Butterworths Family Law Service is the leading looseleaf work on family law. It provides authoritative guidance on all aspects of the law as it affects families and family breakdowns and includes extensive coverage of child law. It provides detailed narrative guidance on the divorce process, with the practical consequences of divorce examined in detail.

It deals with the law as it applies to married and unmarried partners and their children and provides in-depth coverage of all other important family law matters including domestic violence, custody and financial provision. In addition, it deals with social security and welfare benefits - an essential feature not found in any other major work on family law.

This authoritative work has been extensively rewritten and restructured to ensure that it is as accessible and as contemporary a treatment of the law as possible. It comes to you in eight volumes plus a Tables, Index and Bulletins volume. Each volume covers a discrete area of law and contains a comprehensive collection of all statutory materials, practice directions, circulars and precedents relevant to the subject matter of the volume including important extracts from the Civil Procedures Rules, Rules of the Supreme Court, the County Court Rules, the Family Proceedings Rules and the various Rules applicable to the magistrates' courts. The work is kept fully up-to-date via a monthly bulletin service and bi-monthly issues.

This service is available on CD-ROM.
