About the Author
Deborah L. Forman is a contributor for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt titles including: Every Parent's Guide to the Law.
Reviews
The law is a key factor in the choices parents make in matters ranging from prenatal care to guardianship of minor children. Forman's comprehensive handbook reviews legal issues regarding such daily-life concerns as child care, health, education, and financial planning; such postmarital concerns as child custody, visitation, and child support; and abuse and adoption, which always bring parents in contact with the legal system. Each chapter reviews pertinent legal issues, illustrating the discussion with individual cases and providing parents with sufficient information for determining whether they need legal counsel and for effectively communicating their concerns to their lawyer. Forman, a professor of family law, is thorough in her discussion and precise about sources. She presents complicated material clearly, even eloquently, which makes the guide an outstanding reference for parents and for general readers seeking a cogent introduction to the legal side of child rearing. Kathryn Carpenter
Tackling topics of everyday concern as well as more unusual and troubling problems, law professor Forman aims to provide an overview of legal issues of interest to parents. To that end, she covers such issues as education, parents' rights at work, child care, health, finances, custody, support, juvenile crime, abuse, father's rights, adoption, and reproductive technologies, using anecdotes and examples from familiar news stories as the starting point for explanations of the law and its application in common situations. Such current topics as tuition vouchers and protecting children from inappropriate material on the Internet also receive attention. The writing is clear, and Forman does not shortchange difficult or complicated subjects. Recommended for most public libraries.?Joan Pedzich, Harris, Beach & Wilcox, Rochester, NY
