What is the family law system in the UK? The answer lies in this course, which is divided into two modules; the first deals with the legal definitions and the basic procedures relevant to issues concerning a family. It will teach you to interpret specific family law sections and understand the legal requirements. You will also go through certain theoretical concepts in this context, such as the theory of autopoiesis and the impact of feminism on a family.

This course also cites court decisions given for real-life cases, which will provide a more in-depth understanding of the laws concerning the issues. You will learn how to implement these laws and examine the legal definitions associated with families, marriage, as well as child support and protection issues. How does child support work if the mother has no job? This and more has been explained in a simple language.

The second module delves into the idea of adoption – its definition, the grounds on which a child may be adopted, and the procedure. The module discusses guardianship, gender equality, and the UN Convention on Children's Rights. As with the previous module, several laws, such as the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, are also explained from theoretical and case-based perspectives. Enroll in this course to gain proficiency in your legal career.
