Description

Family law is enormously complex, and the details of the subject vary from state to state. Most students enrolled in family law in California law schools plan to take the California Bar Exam and practice here. The book provides a thorough introduction to the day-to-day work of family law attorneys. The book refers throughout to the California Family Code and to family law cases from California courts.

The book focuses on premarital agreements, agreements between unmarried cohabitants, marriage and divorce, annulment, child custody, the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Parental Child Abduction, property characterization and division, adoption, and alternative reproduction.

The California Bar Examination has long tested California community property. The bar examiners plan in the not too distant future to test all of family law. The book prepares students for family law questions on the California Bar Exam. As well, the bar examination in a number of other states tests family law, and while this book focuses on California law, the book prepares students for family law questions on other state bars and for family law questions on the Uniform Bar Exam.
