Family Law, Seventh Edition is directed to those practising at the ‘coal face’ of this area of the law , with crisp statements of the law, and plentiful case references to allow the reader to further research the decisions. For those studying family law, this book will provide concise statements of the law essential to a nuanced understanding of the jurisdiction that must be navigated to achieve just outcomes for their future clients.

Family Law, Seventh Edition has been substantially updated and restructured, including more than 2300 new footnotes added since the previous edition. This edition reflects important changes to the jurisdiction, including the creation of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, and a number of recent High Court decisions, such as Fairbairn & Radecki, Masson & Parsons and Thorne & Kennedy. Significant legislative changes as exemplified by the introduction of same sex marriage in 2017, the evolving case law related to gender dysphoria cases culminating in Re Kelvin, and the growing focus and awareness on the impact of family violence are also reflected in this edition.

Unique coverage:

  • One of the leading authorities on family law in Australia
  • Updated to include the creation of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia
