Details

The CLP Legal Practice Guides explain in detail the principles of each area of legal practice and provide worked examples, checklists, model forms and relevant legislation. Published annually, they are ideal points of reference for students studying the Legal Practice Course, and for practitioners as a means of keeping up with the latest developments.

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 law and procedure on divorce following the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020; the online divorce process; the recommendations of the Farquhar Committee; the Statement on the Efficient Conduct of Financial Remedy Hearings in the Financial Remedies Courts 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 Azarmi-Movafagh v Bassiri-Dezfouli [2021] on deferred trusts of land; Xanthopoulos v Rakshina [2022] on open justice, costs and professional conduct and BT v CU [2021] on set aside and variation.
