Policy Review. When Parents Break Up: Children and the Family Law Bill.

Hodgkin, Rachel

Children & Society, v10 n1 p77-79 Mar 1996

Explores the changes that England's Family Law Bill is undergoing. Discusses whether the 12-month period of child protection is adequate when parents are divorcing. Suggests that children should be provided with information about the divorce process, and that parents should have regard to children's views when making decisions. Claims that children should be the focus of mediation. (MOK)
