This is a unique family law resource, reflecting the real-world issues that are critical for working with child clients in dependency and family court settings. The authors--a psychologist who has worked with children since the mid-1980s, and an attorney who almost exclusively represents children in dependency court matters--recognize that lawyers who represent children must understand them, the system in which they are engaged, the services available to them, the schools they attend, their ethnic and cultural issues, their special needs, the legal issues they face outside of family and juvenile courts, and more. In addition, lawyers need to understand the issues faced by the parents with whom they live.
While some children's representatives work exclusively in this area and want to delve deeper into the issues of family dynamics examined in this book, this is also a useful resource for those who work with children's cases less frequently or are just beginning in the area and have had limited or no exposure to these issues. This clearly written and logical guide is an informed resource accessible to professionals at any level of experience.
