Essential to any family law library

This book greatly simplifies the essential (and obtuse) concepts of family law. There are two reasons to buy this book: (1) better *family law* definitions and (2) you won't waste time wading through concepts that have nothing to do with family law. Some of the family law concepts are explained in enough detail that "encyclopedia" may have been a better title for the book than "dictionary." Why read a treatise when you can quickly understand legal concepts with this accurate and consise reference.One caveat- this book is definately for legal practitioners. Non-lawyers should use a less technical resource (or bite the bullet and hire a lawyer). This book targets family law litigators and judges.
