I have a particular interest in family law and legal history. I have written on all aspects of modern family law, including popular texts such as Cretney and Probert’s Family Law (Sweet & Maxwell, 10th ed, 2018, with Maebh Harding) and Great Debates in Family Law (Palgrave, 2nd ed 2015, with Jonathan Herring and Stephen Gilmore ). I have also edited a number of collections of essays (Marriage Rites and Rights (Hart, 2015), co-edited with Joanna Miles and Perveez Mody; Fifty years in Family Law: Essays for Stephen Cretney (Intersentia, 2012), co-edited with Chris Barton; Landmark Cases in Family Law (Hart, 2011), co-edited with Stephen Gilmore and Jonathan Herring; Sharing Lives, Dividing Assets (Hart, 2009), co-edited with Joanna Miles; Responsible Parents and Parental Responsibility (Hart, 2009), co-edited with Jonathan Herring and Stephen Gilmore; Family Life and the Law: Under One Roof (Ashgate, 2007)).
