Law and the Family New York, 2021-2022 Edition
I am happy to announce the publication of a new edition of Law and the Family, titled “Law and the Family New York, 2021-2022 Edition.” (12 volumes, Thomson Reuters)
In the Preface to the First Edition of “Law and the Family New York,” which was published in 1966, Professor Henry H. Foster and Dr. Doris Jonas Freed wrote:
“An attempt has been made in these volumes to place family law in
its social context and to comment upon existing law in terms of social purpose and social consequence...Volume I deals with the termination of marriage by Divorce, Separation, and Annulment, and touches upon the status of marriage itself. Volume II is intended to cover the Economic Aspects of Marriage and Divorce, including temporary and permanent alimony, counsel fees, support, and child custody. Future volumes are planned to cover family rights and liabilities, both inter se and as to strangers, and the Family Court Act and its various provisions… In this field, the final chapter is never written.”
Law and the Family New York Second Edition,” by Foster, Freed and Brandes was published in 1987. The Second Edition added three volumes covering practice under the Equitable Distribution Law of 1980. Two volumes covering Child Custody and Child Support, and Appellate Practice were published in 1997, and two volumes covering Family Court practice, written with the assistance of Bari Brandes, Esq. (now Bari Corbin) were added in 1998 and 1999.
Law and the Family New York, 2021-2022 Edition a new 12 volume set is a definitive treatise on New York Family Law. It has been described as “a massive accomplishment, a wealth of information for the bench and bar, and simply impressive scholarship.” The emphasis is upon existing New York law as well as Interstate Conventions, Federal Law, and International treaties which affect and govern portions of New York Family Law. The treatise will be supplemented and/or revised each year as changing law and circumstances warrant. As Foster and Fried wrote in 1966:” In this field, the final chapter is never written.”
