The Legal Answer Book for Families di Emily Doskow Attorney
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I'm an attorney by trade and I usually keep Nolo books in my library to help my clients. This is a great book in terms of giving an overview to a lot of very common issues faced by families.

Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.As someone about to get married and considering the implications of starting a family, this book has been helpful for figuring out what needs to get done ahead of time to make sure we're in the best possible position to adopt in the future. While I hear (and share) some of the concerns expressed by other reviewers that the content regarding same-sex couples and same-sex headed families is somewhat shallow, I recognize that the law is changing rapidly and going into too great detail about the law at the time of publication would have rendered those sections completely obsolete in short time.… (altro)
