Elements of Child Law is a comprehensive study of legitimacy, status of children legislation, parental rights, maintenance, family provision and succession to property, custody, adoption and care and protection issues. Includes a thorough discussion of the Convention on the Rights of the Child adopted by the United Nations in 1989 and its ramifications for the region in the last ten years. All relevant Caribbean statutes and their relationships to current case law are examined. Written for both students and practitioners, this well-researched, up-to-date volume is a valuable addition to current Caribbean law publications.
