Description

"Parents and Children" covers the legal relationship between parent and child and what can go wrong with it. It contains concise legal information which can be used by practitioners because of its quality and can be used by laymen because of its narrative style. Since the last edition, there have been major developments: the Children Act 1989 and the regulations issued under it; the NHS and Community Care Act 1990; Courts and Legal Services Act 1990; Law Commission Reports on domestic violence and the forthcoming Review of Adoption Law.
