Family and Matrimonial has been written in an easy to follow,user-friendly style, taking the reader (who may have little or no prior knowledge of family law) through examples of situations likely to be met in practice. The format of the book ranges from narrative, introducing the reader to various topics, to procedural checklists and precedents, enabling the reader to make and respond to applications in a variety of contexts. The book is written with 'learning by doing' very much in mind, encouraging the reader to perform small tests and self-assessments using both the materials in the book and examples from the reader's own practice.
