Opis

In this book, Patrick Parkinson argues that the conflicts in family law derive from the breakdown of the model on which divorce reform was predicated.

Recenzje

'This interesting book is truly a solid piece of work at its best. It is indeed very thought-provoking and may benefit many kinds of readers. It is thus highly recommendable for anyone interested in post-divorce parenthood, especially since it is conducted in a comparative perspective.' Professor Eva Ryrstedt, Faculty of Law, Lund University
