The book examines how Singapore’s family law defines and regulates adults who have legal relationships with children and who are involved in their care and upbringing. It explores a range of selected issues to illustrate how family law and related areas of law provide guidance, direction, and legal constraints for parents, guardians, and other adults involved in a child’s life, with the overarching objective of promoting the child’s welfare and well-being.
