Florida Child Support: Secondary Sources

Exploring Child Support Laws in Florida

WHAT IS A SECONDARY SOURCE AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?

A secondary source is anything that describes, interprets, evaluates, or analyzes information from primary sources. Secondary sources are good for gaining a full overview of your topic and understanding how other researchers have approached it. They often synthesize a large number of primary sources that would be difficult and time-consuming to gather by yourself. Secondary sources that explain and analyze governing legal doctrines make primary sources more accessible and should serve as the launching pad for most research projects. Below you will find many family law secondary sources that will educate you on all things family law in Florida. 

EXAMPLES OF SECONDARY SOURCES

  • Legal Encyclopedias
  • Treatises
  • American Law Reports (ALR)
  • Restatements
  • Law Review Articles
  • Legal Dictionaries
