A Practical Guide to Advocacy in Family Proceedings - Second Edition

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. This handbook provides assistance for the newcomer to the Family Law court room. 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.



This second edition not only only provides assistance for the newcomer to the Family Law Court Room but the additional chapters make it a reference book for experienced family practitioners conducting cases on a regular basis.
