For undergraduate courses in Family Law; specifically designed for paralegal students in degree and non-degree programs.

This book thoroughly prepares students in the areas of family law they will most likely encounter in the real world (with an emphasis on the theoretical, procedural and practical aspects of the divorce process). This nuts-and-bolts textbook offers an easy-to-understand, entertaining, yet sufficiently thorough study of family law that provides students with a working knowledge they can take right from the classroom into professional practice.

Review:

"Writing style is breezy and easy to read...students will like the style of writing. Instructors will appreciate the extensive coverage of ethical issues. The frequent reference to the specific role of the paralegal in the process is very useful." ― Robert Goldfarb, J.D.

"The author of this work knows [Family Law] and presents it well ...nice balance achieved between the theoretical and the practical ...the student is given meaningful examples and explanations for the provisions ...highly useful after class as a reference manual..." ― Robert D. Loomis, J.D.

" The features I would stress are vocabulary terms, exercises for students and the fact that the book is very comprehensive in covering all topics pertinent to family law." ― Elaine S. Brown, J.D.
