This is an essential handbook for any family law practitioner.
The last few years have seen a significant increase in awareness of menopausal symptoms and the potentially significant adverse impact they can have on quality of life, ability to work for certain periods of time, relationships, and much more. The average age at divorce has been gradually increasing and now directly collides with the generally accepted "average" age range for onset of menopausal symptoms.
A party's menopausal symptoms are now, more than ever, likely to be a relevant factor which should be considered in family law proceedings (to include financial remedy and Children Act matters). This is new territory for practitioners and the judiciary alike.
This book will give practical advice to practitioners about how to identify, approach and manage a case in which either or both parties are experiencing symptoms of the menopause.
