Description of Family Law, 7th Edition:
In the midst of exclamatory headlines that depict society in a litigation frenzy, such as “”Son Sues to Divorce His Mother,”” “”Surrogate Mother Refuses to Turn Over Baby”” and “”Facebook Divorces on the Rise,”” Statsky’s FAMILY LAW, 7E helps you accurately understand the state of family law today and your role, as a paralegal, within it. You examine issues truly impacting family law, such as no-fault divorce, the women’s movement, and the impact of science and technology on concepts of parentage. This edition also addresses recent changes, such as new mechanisms for pursuing parents not paying child support and the court’s support of unmarried fathers seeking to undo their children’s adoptions. In addition to presenting fundamental principles of family law and current nationwide legal practices, this edition offers state-specific assignments for applying family law in your local area. Legal analysis exercises, real forms, documents and cases further prepare you to work with the actual tools and processes family law professionals use today.Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
