Family Law for the Paralegal: Concepts and Applications

This contemporary book reflects the emerging trends in American family patterns. With a focus on workplace preparation, it’s written so that readers understand not only substantive family law, but also the role a paralegal plays in a family law practice. Each chapter includes a wealth of cases, exhibits, and practical applications as well as end-of-chapter assignments that are hands-on and practice-based, with special attention to ethical considerations. Well researched and documented throughout, the book incorporates current issues in marriage and the family, addresses how emerging technology impacts the practice of law, and includes more multi-state references than many competing books.
