Description
Bromley's Family Law remains the most authoritative textbook on the subject and has been used by generations of both students and practitioners as a reliable source of guidance. 2006 sees the publication of the tenth edition while 2007 marks the fiftieth anniversary of its original publication, and indeed the publication of the first textbook on family law. Both detailed and readable, this book offers the fullest consideration of new legislative and case law developments, and their impact on family law. The authors consider these developments alongside changes in practice, including the increasing emphasis placed on alternative dispute resolution, and the active involvement of children in legal proceedings affecting them. Particular attention is also paid to the influence of the European Union, which is becoming increasingly important for a full understanding of family law.
