Synopsis
This 4th edition of Ancillary Relief Handbook has been fully revised and updated to include important developments since the last edition was published. Detailed analysis of all the post-White cases including Lambert v Lambert, have been incorporated into the text in order to provide practitioners with unrivalled coverage of the Court's approach to the resolution of ancillary relief cases. There is also a new chapter on the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and its implications in ancillary relief cases, and a substantially re-written chapter on costs in the light of important new case law. District Judge Roger Bird, author of best-selling books on the Child Support Act 1991 and domestic violence, has written the book on ancillary relief practice and procedure for all family lawyers. In this new edition he gives practical, straightforward advice on the complex issues involved, clearly explaining every aspect of ancillary relief case-law and practice. Supplemented by appendices containing key precedents, forms and legislation Ancillary Relief Handbook is an essential companion for all solicitors or legal executives advising on divorce cases.

Customer Reviews

The self reppers bible
This book is indispensible for anyone considering representing themselves in an ancillary relief case, it's dynamite!

I choked a bit at the price, but after reading a few selected paragraphs I realised it was going to save me thousands upon thousands. I read it cover to cover and now have the confidence to take on my ex-wife's solicitor in open court. This book has already shown how several of her claims can be successfully contested and has given an added boost to my written submissions and letters.

This book is right up to date, and needs to be. Don't save pennies by buying an earlier or second hand edition.

Wholly reccomended.

THE DEFINITIVE
Every serious money family lawyer needs this book.

Most sensible barristers in my chambers (who do family) have it.

It is perhaps too comprehensive at times - and I found myself getting a little caught up in the detail. But it covers it all.

One criticism: the company valuation stuff is a bit thin - but hey the author is a DJ and not a forensic accountant what do we expect?
