Wadlington, O'Brien, and Wilson's Statutory and Documentary Supplement on Domestic Relations: Selected Uniform Laws, Model Legislation, Federal Statutes, State Statutes, and International Treaties, 2025 Edition

In teaching and in practicing domestic relations, the availability of pertinent codified material and recent commentary is indispensable. This compendium of statutory materials supplements the casebook by these same authors, divided into four distinct sections: (1) Uniform Laws and Model Legislation, (2) Federal Statutes, (3) State Statutes, and (4) International Treaties. These four sections illustrate the evolving perspective of family law, nationally and internationally. Included are statutes addressing, among other topics, nonmarital cohabitation, premarital and marital agreements, testimony by minors, professional responsibility standards, mediation and arbitration standards, proof of paternity and surrogacy, and international treaties, particularly pertaining to protection of children and women.

Each statute is preceded by citations to pertinent legal periodicals, providing explanation and parameters for practice. As a quick reference or to provide a survey of what has been legislated to address a particular situation, this compendium of codes and commentary is an indispensable complement to the classroom or to practice.
