Description:

Brings together experts from a variety of legal disciplines to comment on the way in which different areas of law affect the functioning family. This volume focuses attention on the intact family and the legal issues that affect it. It offers a critical approach to bear on the broad range of subjects that used to constitute 'family law.'

Synopsis:

This book brings a modern critical approach to bear on the broad range of subjects that used to constitute 'family law.' A key consideration in this collection is the way in which law itself is premised upon, constructing a particular image of the family. By bringing different areas of law together, Probert et al suggest it is possible to explore how differing ideas about 'the family' inform different areas of law. This approach allows Family Life and the Law to analyze the extent to which the law is consistent and/or inconsistent in its concept and treatment of the family across and within disciplines. The book is particularly timely in view of the passage of the Civil Partnership Act 2004, the implications of which reverberate throughout family law and allied disciplines, and the current reconsideration of the position of cohabiting couples.
