PLG-201 Family Law

We will begin with an introduction to family law and the functions of a paralegal in family law practice, and then move to the substance of family law. We will follow a more or less natural progression, beginning with the law that governs marriage, the non-marital family and ante-nuptial agreements. An introduction to domestic violence law will be followed by a serious study of divorce, including issues such as annulment and separation, the actual process involved in divorce, and the related issues of property disposition, child custody, parenting plans, and child and spousal support. Finally, we will conclude with short units on paternity, adoption, and child abuse and neglect.
