Family Law, 2nd Edition

Family Law by Burton supplements the explanation and discussion of the substantive law with practical insights and current debates in a very accessible manner. Ruth Gaffney-Rhys, University of South Wales

Family Law by Frances Burton, is the sort of general overview text which I have been seeking for several years. It provides clear examples and accessible language explanations for students with limited or no prior exposure to law texts. The text covers all the important topics and will serve as a base for a sound working knowledge of relevant law for a variety of professionals working with children and families. Patrick Meehan, Canterbury Christ Church University

I am a great supporter of this book … it is student friendly…contains good explanations of the law and good use of cases and is well-presented. Jeanette Porteous, University of Lincoln

I really like the inclusion of the practitioner and procedural elements in this book. …I have found that students find this particularly useful and interesting and it often aids their understanding of a topic. …These ‘added extras’ give this text something over and above other Family Law textbooks and they add a different, rather unique, element. Jennifer Sands, University of Leeds
