Mastering Family Law helps students understand the basic principles and underlying policies of the topics covered in a family law course. The book also is helpful for family law litigators to have an all-in-one reference for most topics that may arise in a family law dispute. All of the traditional topics that were covered in the first edition have been updated. Certain areas like the right to marry, father's rights, reproductive rights and divorce and custody factors have undergone significant legislative and judicial changes which are summarized within the book.

Each chapter provides a roadmap to focus attention on the important topics that will be addressed and a checkpoints list at the end of each chapter to summarize the important concepts. The book is written in a student and practitioner-friendly style that explains all of the major family law concepts that are necessary to successfully practice in the area and to pass this NextGen bar tested topic.
