Disability studies, a rapidly growing field of academic inquiry, not only stands as a subject in its own right but also emphasizes the importance of mainstream subjects embracing and amplifying the voices of marginalized groups, including those with disabilities. In contemporary times, family law, traditionally rooted in an able-bodied autonomous norm, may struggle to adequately accommodate the complexities of living with disability. To address this, this book tackles a wide range of critical and timely topics, including the overuse of care proceedings in cases involving parents with disabilities, the legal framework's response to children who provide care for their disabled parents, and the challenges posed by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, it examines the diverse institutional and state responsibilities outlined in the UNCRPD, as well as the decision-making processes for both disabled adults and children. This interdisciplinary collection, featuring contributions from legal scholars, criminologists, sociologists, and social policy experts, as well as policy advocates and activists, has a broad appeal to academic family lawyers, disability scholars, and students interested in exploring the intersection of family law, disability, and care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book explores the complex interplay between disability, care, and family law, examining the challenges and opportunities that arise in these interconnected domains. It highlights the need for a more inclusive and equitable legal framework that recognizes the unique experiences and needs of individuals with disabilities and their families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the key themes explored in the book is the overuse of care proceedings in cases involving parents with disabilities. It argues that care proceedings should be used only when necessary and that alternative approaches, such as support services and community-based interventions, should be prioritized. The book also examines the legal rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 378g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 x 234 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367759346\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104084586746,"sku":"9780367759346","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1676644058945_book.jpg?v=1676914268","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/disability-care-and-family-law-9780367759346","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
