Family Law : Case List

This area of law is fundamentally concerned with the regulation of family relationships that is usually focussed upon issues that arise regarding marital relations between couples (although it must also be recognised the effect of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 regarding same sex relationships cannot be ignored) and issues of care for children within the family because their interests are paramount under the Children Act 1989 and they must be recognised in relation to any decisions that are taken in the given circumstances.

Therefore, on this basis, it is considered to be particularly relevant to the breakdown of family relationships regarding divorce and its amicable financial settlement along with the ensuing need to provide for the that are involved children with suitable and effective maintenance and access for both parents to preserve their relationships with their children under the remit of the Family Law Act 1996.
