This comprehensive, contemporary textbook offers a detailed account of the relevant statutory provisions and case law principles, coupled with a thought-provoking critique of the key debates, controversies and complexities of modern family law. Chapter summaries and introductions, detailed footnotes, and further reading sections make the subject accessible to students and deepen their understanding. The critical approach of each chapter allows students not only to comprehend, but also to question and challenge, the existing legal framework. With its clear and logical structure, wide-ranging coverage, and insights into both the theory and the practice of family law, this is the ideal textbook for all students of the subject.

This collection provides a snapshot of big ideas in family law reform.The book asks: if you could change one part of family law, what would it be? This deceptively simple question is answered by 10 family law experts and debated within the volume by expert respondents.The book puts the proposal first, forcing authors (and their respondents) to critically engage with what family law should look like, and where the development of law is needed to address the changing landscape of family life. Cultural and religious plurality, the use of technology, and changes in societal attitudes have all had an impact on the continuing evolution of families. As a consequence, the law has some complex challenges to address in its attempt to regulate familial diversity.This book is an invaluable resource for scholars of family law, practitioners, policymakers, or anyone more broadly interested in family law reform, and serves as a companion to Hart Publishing's landmark Criminal Law Reform Now.
