eBook - Digital access to the eBook, with the ability to highlight and take notes.
Description
Family law is enormously complex, and the details of the subject vary from state to state. Most students enrolled in family law at California law schools plan to practice in California. This casebook is unique among family law books in its focus on California law. The book provides a thorough introduction to the day-to-day work of California family law attorneys. The book refers throughout to the California Family Code. Most cases in the book are from California courts.
The book provides a California focus on the subjects covered by most family law casebooks, including premarital agreements, agreements between unmarried cohabitants, marriage and divorce, annulment, child and spousal support, child custody, community property, the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, the Hague Convention on International Parental Child Abduction, property division, adoption, and alternative reproductive technology. In addition, because many students in family law have a strong desire to help children and families, the book has a chapter on the juvenile court.
Starting July 2026, the California Bar Exam will test not only community property—which has been tested for decades—but all aspects on family law. The third edition of the book is designed with the California Bar Exam in mind. The book will prepare students for bar questions on family law.
