Family Law
This course introduces students to the substantive and procedure law of separation and divorce, including discussions on dissolution of marriage, spousal and child support, custody and access, common-law relationships, and definition of spouse, property rights, and financial disclosure.
This course will examine in particular matrimonial property rights, financial statements, procedure on a property claim, separation agreements, enforcement of orders, and variation and indexing of orders.
In addition to learning substantive law and theory, students will work on practical skills that law clerks require working in a family law practice, including the preparation of relevant family law documents.
