| Abstract
|
:
|
This textbook sketches a picture of the current state of family law and the role of the attorney-paralegal team within it. The 17 chapters cover such topics as premarital agreements, divorce, child support, the legal status of children, and the new science of motherhood. The fifth edition incorporates new developments in same- sex marriage, the confidentiality of adoption records, and the legal status of frozen embryos.
