The breakdown of a relationship can be one of the hardest things anyone can go through. This book endeavours to ease one of the stressful parts of the process by explaining the legal ramifications of separation and divorce. Breaking Up has been written to help you understand your legal rights after separation. Its aim is to arm you with all the information you need to be able to deal with the legal system with confidence. In clear, non-legalistic language, it sets out the various factors to take into consideration, including the difficult areas of division of property and custody of children.
Robert Larkins lives in Melbourne. He has been a barrister for over twenty years with a practice specializing in cases of domestic violence. He is a member of the Family Law Section of the Law Council of Australia. He has a practical relationship experience having been twice married and, as he says, thrown out on both occasions! He lives alone but is on exceptionally good terms with both exes - indeed this book is dedicated to one of them. He is the author of Funeral Rights and Breaking Up.
