Sommario/riassunto

Family law regulates personal relationships between people, whether biologically or legal, such as between parents or guardians and children, unborn children and their parents, and between the individuals in married couples and civil partnerships. Kenneth Norrie explores the law in Scotland, showing how it is enforced and how it interacts and conflicts with other laws. End-of-chapter summaries highlight the essential facts, and essential cases summaries show how the law has been enforced.
