Every Family Matters: An in-depth review of family law in Britain

A Policy Report by the Family Law Review

A review of family law is considered to be necessary as part of a concerted effort to stabilise and support relationships within our society. The law plays an important role in shaping expectations surrounding family life, impacting relationships both directly and indirectly. However for the past four decades Parliament has not given sufficient attention to family life through failing to enact necessary and appropriate changes to family law in England and Wales. As a consequence, where family life needs and seeks the assistance of family law, some statute law is acknowledged now as being out-dated, failing to reflect changes in family life and parenting patterns. In addition, it is in places overlaid with confusing and sometimes contradictory judge-made law.
