Introduce modern family law to today's paralegals with an emphasis on both substantive and procedural law. The strong practical focus in Statsky's FAMILY LAW, 7E helps students make sense of exclamatory headlines, talk shows, print and social media that often depict society in a litigation frenzy. Your students gain an accurate picture of family law and the role of today's attorney-paralegal team as they examine issues truly impacting family law, such as no-fault divorce, the women’s movement, and the impact of science and technology on concepts of parentage. Engaging changes, such as new mechanisms for pursuing parents not paying child support and the court's support of unmarried fathers seeking to undo their children's adoptions, keep students involved. In addition to fundamental principles of family law and current nationwide legal practices, this edition and MindTap digital resources offer state-specific assignments and legal analysis exercises for applying substantive law principles. Forms, documents, cases and exhibits further prepare readers to work with the actual tools and processes family law professionals use today.
