Synopsis

Established as a straightforward, easy-to-follow handbook of UK procedure, this book is equally useful as an aide-memoire for the hard-pressed specialist or as an introduction for the less experienced. The book enables a busy practitioner to avoid the most common pitfalls encountered across the spectrum of family proceedings in the UK, thereby speeding up litigation and avoiding unnecessary work and wasted costs orders. Previous editions of the book have been widely used in the UK's Principal Registry of the Family Division, other district registries, and county courts. A Practical Guide to Family Proceedings offers step-by-step guidance on the effective conduct of the most common types of family law application. This fifth edition has been extensively revised to take account of the Family Procedure Rules 2010. It will prove an essential reference for the busy family lawyer. Contents include: Part I: proceedings for: divorce, judicial separation, nullity, civil partnership, gender recognition, presumption of death and dissolution, declaration of marital status, declaration of parentage, and legitimacy/legitimation * Part II: financial applications * Part III: children * Part IV: injunctions and enforcement * Part V: the court record.
