Live Organ And Tissue Transplants From Minor Donors In Massachusetts, Charles Baron, Margot Botsford, Garrick Cole

Charles H. Baron

This article examines the system of providing court approval for organ and tissue transplants from minor donors as it operates in Massachusetts. It focuses principally on the substantive interests of prospective donors and on the extent to which the current procedures afford them adequate protection. It begins by examining the requirement of consent and demonstrates the necessity of judicial authorization of minor donors' participation in transplant procedures. Next, it analyzes the current Massachusetts practice and assess its capacity to afford minor donors adequate protection from the possible dangers of serving as an organ or tissue donor. It suggests that the …

Community Property Marital Settlements: The Problem And A Proposal, Roland L. Hjorth

Washington Law Review

This article is an attempt to deal with the "larger whole" of community property divisions. It concludes with a proposal that, inasmuch as marriages in community property states are similar to partnerships, the dissolution of marriages should be treated for tax purposes in a manner similar to the dissolution of partnerships.

The Transmission Of Wealth At Death In A Community Property Jurisdiction, John R. Price

Washington Law Review

This article reports the results of an empirical study of the distribution, disposition and taxation of wealth at death in a community property state—Washington. The study was undertaken in order to extend the existing data base regarding the transmission of property at death to two new areas: (1) the community property states; and (2) transfers by way of probate avoidance devices. The existing data base is derived primarily from three relatively recent studies of the transmission of wealth at death through the estate administration process in common law property states. They provided answers to a host of very important and …

Community Property—Deferred Compensation: Disposition Of Military Retired Pay Upon Dissolution Of Marriage—Payne V. Payne, 82 Wn. 2d 573, 512 P.2d 736 (1973), D. Michael Young

Washington Law Review

Petitioner-wife and respondent-husband were married a year after he entered the military service, and divorced in Washington a year before he became eligible to retire. In a property distribution provision of its divorce decree, the trial court awarded the wife $65 per month of the $360 per month military retired pay which the husband expected to receive incident to his prospective retirement from the United States Air Force. The court of appeals, reversing, held that such an interest could not be distributed as property under a divorce decree. The Washington Supreme Court, however, reinstated the decree of the trial court, …

The Juvenile Court And Emotional Neglect Of Children, James B. Stoetzer

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

A primary function of the Juvenile Court is to assist in the protection of children from abuse and neglect. Juvenile court acts, child abuse reporting statutes, and child protective services legislation have incorporated provisions dealing with physical abuse and physical neglect of children. Such legislation enables state intervention into family life for the protection of children exposed to harmful environments. Statutory definitions of abuse and neglect provide a basis on which the community, frequently through the juvenile court, may pass judgment on the existence of child neglect and offer services or coerce family members to accept them. A few states, …

Transactions Subject To Gift Tax, Douglas A. Kahn, Earl M. Colson

Articles

The gift tax is imposed on the "transfer of property by gift." The term gift is not expressly defined either in the Code or in the Treasury Regulations. However, section 2512(b), dealing with the valuation of gifts, states that "where property is transferred for less than an adequate and full consideration in money or money's worth," the difference between the value of the property transferred and the consideration received constitutes a gift. Thus, for gift tax purposes, the determination of whether a gift was made does not turn so much on the intent of the transferor as it does on …

Recent Developments In American Divorce Legislation, Harvey L. Zuckman

Scholarly Articles

The "no fault divorce" revolution continues apace. Since publication of Professor Fox's and my survey of non fault divorce legislation in the Journal of Family Law in the summer of 1973, seven more states have amended their divorce laws to provide in some way for non fault divorce. Today more than forty states are in the non fault column.

Family Law-Putative Father Denied Custody Under Restrictive Interpretation Of His Rights

University of Richmond Law Review

Under the common law, the illegitimate child was deemed nullius filius, no man's son. However, our courts have gradually granted the illegitimate substantially the same rights as those afforded the legitimate child. Unlike the child, the putative father, who originally was free from any obligation to his offspring, has encountered the same duties as the father of a legitimate child notwithstanding the fact that he is afforded few of the parental rights.

Natural Law And The Marriage Of Christians, Robert E. Rodes

Journal Articles

Traditional Catholic marriage doctrine is under a good deal of pressure these days, and much of the pressure seems to come from canonists. It is not surprising that this should be the case. The ideal of Christian lovers giving themselves to one another irrevocably, and living out their commitment, with God's help, until death has lost none of its attractiveness. But as the canonists reflect on what they are doing, they become increasingly disturbed by their inability to offer a practical way out to people who have signally failed to implement the ideal in their lives.

Nevertheless, it seems to …

Intervention Between Parent And Child: A Reappraisal Of The State’S Role In Child Neglect And Abuse Cases, Judith C. Areen

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Once a court agrees that it has sufficient cause to assume jurisdiction in order to protect a child, there is a high probability that the child will be separated from his family for months or years, or permanently. Despite the disruptive impact this process obviously can have on children and their families, at present there is little consensus about when a court should find that a particular child is neglected or abused. And just as there is little agreement on when intervention in a particular family is justified, there is little agreement about what forms of intervention are constructive.

Adoption Reform In Ohio, Kathleen Haack Hartley

Cleveland State Law Review

This note will treat the three areas of the proposed Ohio Adoption Reform bill which seem significant: the need for agency consent in adoption proceedings; the rights of putative fathers in adoption proceedings; and independent adoptions. While a complete separation of the social and legal consequences of the proposed changes is not always possible, this note will focus primarily on the legal ramifications in these particular areas by sampling the laws of various states with an emphasis on Ohio law as it relates to the proposed adoption procedure.
