Family Law: Understanding the Law of Marriage, Divorce, Child Custody, Child Support, Parental Rights, and Adoption (QuickSilver Law Study)

When family life changes, the law decides what happens next.
Who may marry? What happens when a marriage ends? Who gets the house, the savings, or the debts? Where will the children live? Who must pay support? Who counts as a legal parent—and when can the state create, protect, reshape, or end a family?
Family Law turns these difficult questions into clear, understandable rules. Through real cases and practical examples, Jordan K. Fairfield explains marriage, divorce, property division, spousal support, child custody, child support, modification, enforcement, parentage, termination of parental rights, guardianship, and adoption.
Written for bar candidates, law students, paralegal students, and readers facing real family-law questions, this book combines plain-English explanations, memorable case stories, exam-focused analysis, and practical study tools. Its coverage is aligned with the NextGen Bar Exam, and every tested family-law topic is addressed.
Whether you are preparing for the bar exam, beginning a family-law course, or trying to understand the legal system during a difficult moment, this book gives you the map—and helps you ask the questions that matter most.
