Divorce Law and Practice in Scotland Book

This brief but comprehensive book is a succinct treatment of divorce actions in both the Sheriff Court and the Court of Session. The approach to the subject is chronological, starting at a point before a client arrives to see his or her solicitor for the first time. There are chapters on the legal situation before any action of divorce commences and on taking instructions. The orders which may be made on divorce are set out and commented upon. The form which a summons or writ should take to secure the making of such orders and the procedure involved in raising an action are followed by chapters on the obtaining of interim orders, defending an action and the evidence required. Variation, recall and enforcement of orders which may be made in a divorce action are also covered. Few lawyers in private practice will not encounter a divorce or problems associated with divorce. This practical book is intended to answer these problems or point in the direction where the answer may be found.Read More
