IN THE MEDIA: Family Law Week podcast, Season 10, Special Episode Listen to authors Professor Jo Delahunty KC and Ian McArdle talk about the important themes in this book. www.familylawweek.co.uk/resources/family-law-week-weekly-podcast-season-10-special-episode/

Domestic Abuse and the Family Justice System: Law and Practice looks at the legal framework governing allegations of domestic abuse from Statute and Rules to precedent and good practice. It assists those working with both victims and perpetrators of alleged coercive controlling behaviour and domestic abuse, and those who represent the children impacted by adult behaviours.

Guiding the reader through the legal framework the court applies when assessing competing adult claims and denials, the work identifies areas that can be problematic to manage unless well anticipated and sets out ways in which they can be navigated.

Written by eminent practitioners from both the family and criminal law arenas, this book combines best practice from the criminal courts to assist family law practitioners in identifying common mistakes made by practitioners and the family justice system, offering solutions and promoting best practice.

Each chapter identifies principles and practice points, highlighting the key points practitioners can deploy to enhance and develop their own case preparation and court room skills.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Family Law online service.
