註釋The fifth edition of this popular and well-established text combines a succinct exposition of major themes and principles with a clear account of how the law works in practice. The text reduces what can be a bewildering complexity to highly readable clarity without sacrificing depth of critical analysis, and sets the issues in their social and historical context. It reflects Stephen Cretney's wide experience as a practitioner, Law Commissioner and academic, with Rebecca Probert adding new perspectives from her research and teaching in family law. Provides completely up-to-date information, including the Adoption and Children Act 2002, and discussion of proposed reforms relating to civil partnerships and the rights of transsexuals to marry. Includes all important case-law developments, particularly the burgeoning case-law on the Children Act 1989, the Human Rights Act 1998 and financial provision on divorce. Gives succinct account of all relevant cases; flowcharts highlight the operation of statutes. Explains how the law is administered in practice - not only by the courts but by local authorities and other agencies Cretney's Family Law is essential reading not only for law students
