Families and the Law: Cases and Commentary

"The third edition of Families and the Law continues to focus on "families" and "law": exploring how families experience law in relation to family formation, interventions in intact families, and family dissolution. The authors have tried to continue to focus on issues of diversity among families and to explore critical and interdisciplinary literature about families and family law. This third edition deals with many new challenges for families, as well as new legal developments relating to family relationships. In this context, the book tries to explore how 'families' and 'law' have changed since the previous edition in 2015, and to identify the most important emerging and issues for families and law. In doing so, the book remains committed to exploring how law stays significant for families, and how families and family lives intersect with legal regulation. Or not."--
