Family Law for Non-Lawyers
0 - Default Title
Description
The book surveys family law, familiarizing readers with the similarities and differences in the law throughout the country. Short summaries of the law and related cases bring legal principles to life in an approachable and entertaining way. Contentious issues such as same-sex marriage, birth control, and assisted reproduction technologies share the stage with traditional family law matters like courtship, marriage and divorce, and custody and child support.
The fourth edition includes a new chapter exploring the argument that pets should be considered family under the law. It also explores recent changes in areas like abortion. It expands the chapters on parental rights to include the impact of the new Parent's Rights Movement on issues of medical decision-making, including vaccinations, and education, including curriculum and censorship.
Family Law for Non-Lawyers raises issues and covers topics that will challenge both the reader familiar with family law and anyone new to the subject. The book is ideal for courses in family studies, couples and family therapy, paralegal studies, and family law.
