5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book not only for paralegals!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Family Law for Paralegals (Hardcover)
Ehrlich's book is a great overview of legal issues in the Family Law Sector. It provides a brief history at the beginning of each chapter and then provides legal analysis of the issue and also some social debates. The topics in the book include Same-sex marriage, divorce, child custody, spousal support, child support, domestic violence, and the divorce process. This book provides a succinct and easy to understand explanation of family law issues. Ehrlich also provides information for paralegals in the actual process of filing forms and atual legal work including, client interviewing and other skills. I highly recommend this book!
