“I started teaching law at university 43 years ago and now teach at the college level. I use a great many teaching materials. I always say, even to the students, that this book is the best book I have ever used in teaching. It strikes such a perfect balance on many levels.”

— Henry Dietrich, Georgian College

 

“This is a fantastic text.... I have been using [it] for several years. It is the best one out there.”

— Sharon Norris, Algonquin College


Family Law: Practice and Procedure, 6th Edition provides a comprehensive overview of family law in Ontario. This text covers the practices and procedures that law clerk students need to know, with a focus on providing students with the practical tools they need to navigate the substantive law and procedure related to a marriage breakdown.

This edition reflects updated legislative changes at the federal and provincial level, including amendments to the Divorce Act, as well as the resulting changes to the Children’s Law Reform Act, the Family Law Act, and the Family Law Rules and forms. This edition also reflects extensive changes to terminology

Legal professionals working in family law are expected to have a general knowledge of the law, practices, and procedures, and to carry out their tasks in accordance with the law firm’s procedures and the individual lawyer’s instructions. This edition will provide readers with the fundamental knowledge and practical skill set required to tackle the complex issues surrounding family law.
