A unique title providing comprehensive guidance to the family practitioner on the legal routes available for obtaining evidence and detecting and preserving assets in this jurisdiction and abroad. The wide ambit of financial remedy claims under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, Part III of the Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act 1984, schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989 and under the Civil Partnership Act 2004 are covered.
