(Having family problems? Families most often find themselv...)
Having family problems? Families most often find themselves having to deal with the legal system when there has been some kind of breakdown - a separation or divorce, or problems between parents and children. What happens to a family once the law becomes involved often depends on the arrangements - or lack or arrangements - the family has made beforehand. This book explains the implications of the law in simple, everyday language and answers such questions as: If I am contemplating marriage, what should I and my spouse-to-be discuss now to avoid trouble later? What rights do I have in a cohabiting relationship? What is a separation agreement and is it legally binding? What happens if I walk out of the family home? How do I get a divorce? Where do I turn to for help if my spouse hits or harasses me? How can I stop my spouse from taking the children out of the state? What happens to a child who gets in trouble with the law?
