We are now accepting applications for the Diploma in Family Law, which starts on 23 September and explores matters including separation agreements, judicial separation, divorce, domestic violence and child law.

The course also focuses on topical family law issues, such as family breakdown, child custody, and the increasingly practical issue of enforcement of orders abroad.
