Advocacy in the family court has a style of its own. Yet there is little training or instruction for the lawyer who has a heart to practise in this area.

It puts together in one place useful information needed to conduct advocacy in the main areas of family law including divorce, financial applications, private and public children, injunctions and cohabitation claims.
