Over 200,000 divorces every year have made divorce law into one of the most relevant legal areas of the Civil Law Code. The updated edition of the volume pertaining to 1564-1568 and the Contents Decree updates the text to the current level of jurisprudence. It also debates, amongst other things, the possibilities of legal policy reactions to the increasing phenomenon of false mutual divorces. The volume can by definition not be viewed in isolation from the Divorce Association. It combines volumes on post-marital maintenance, pension rights adjustments, parental care and international divorce law to provide a comprehensive presentation of divorce and its consequences.
