The Ancillary Relief Handbook has established itself as a first resort for thousands of matrimonial lawyers. By combining a clear explanation of the legal principles with straightforward advice on practice and procedure, Roger Bird has produced the essential reference work for the busy family lawyer.

This new edition has been thoroughly revised. It takes account of all recent case-law and provides analysis of the important developments. Additionally, there is a detailed examination of the new ancillary relief costs regime and a consideration of the implications for family lawyers. The extensive text is supplemented by appendices containing key precedents and legislation.
