Domestic Relations, Joseph E. Cheeley Jr., Joseph E. Cheeley Iii
Domestic Relations, Joseph E. Cheeley Jr., Joseph E. Cheeley Iii
Mercer Law Review
The law of domestic relations is an attempt to manage the lives of numerous, divergent family members who more than likely differ in their familial values. Much of this body of law is the result of history, but today the marital relationship seems to be changing in a revolutionary manner. In Georgia in 1978 there was approximately 1 divorce for every 2.16 marriages.
This survey of domestic relations law covers cases from 149 Ga. App. 595 to 153 Ga. App. 742, and from 243 Ga. 436 to 245 Ga. 628. However, only the most noteworthy are discussed here, and for …
Rights Of Adopted Children Under Pre-1949 Class Gifts, Thomas M. Green
Rights Of Adopted Children Under Pre-1949 Class Gifts, Thomas M. Green
Mercer Law Review
In Nunnally v. Trust Company Bank, the Georgia Supreme Court held constitutional Georgia's 1941 adoption statute, which provided that the act of adoption should not affect the adoptive child's relationship with anyone other than the adopting parents and the natural parents. The 1941 act was challenged by two adopted children who, the court held, were excluded from sharing in a class gift to "issue" of grandchildren at the termination of a trust created by the adopting father's grandmother, whose will became effective while the 1941 act was in force.

Recent Amendments To The Texas Child Abuse Statutes: An Analysis And Recommendation., Antoinette M. Pollock
St. Mary's Law Journal
Each year approximately one million children experience abuse by their parents and more than two thousand die as a result of injuries suffered. Drafters of child abuse legislation face the difficult task of accommodating the rights of parent and child, while ensuring the necessary exercise of state authority. In view of the delicate balancing of interests involved, child protection laws must be extensive and detailed in order to withstand constitutional challenge. The Sixty-sixth session of the Texas Legislature amended the child abuse section of the Texas Family Code. The Texas Family Code, as amended, is now capable of withstanding constitutional …

An Analysis Of The Georgia "Live-In Lover" Law, Newton M. Galloway
Mercer Law Review
In 1977, the Georgia legislature amended the law concerning the modification of alimony judgments and awards. In its amendment, the general assembly included what has come to be known as the "live-in lover" law. The "live-in lover" law gave courts the power to modify awards of alimony and support on petition of the husband. By statute, it was required that the husband show in his petition that the former wife was openly and continuously in voluntary cohabitation with another man.
The first challenge to the new law questioned its constitutionality. In Sims v. Sims, the Georgia Supreme Court, following …

Escalation Clauses In Washington Child Support Awards, Michael E. Gossler
Escalation Clauses In Washington Child Support Awards, Michael E. Gossler
Washington Law Review
This comment analyzes the Washington courts' interpretation of the statutes providing for making and modifying child support awards and the policies these statutes are designed to effect. It concludes that the use of escalation clauses is consistent with the statutes and policies on which the Washington support system is based, and that the use of such clauses is a more effective means of promoting the state's policy of providing adequate child support than the traditional approach of awarding support in fixed amounts subject to court modification. Finally, the comment suggests one possible escalation device that seeks to accurately predict future …

Defining The Parent's Duty After Rejection Of Parent-Child Immunity: Parental Liability For Emotional Injury To Abandoned Children, Reid H. Hamilton
Defining The Parent's Duty After Rejection Of Parent-Child Immunity: Parental Liability For Emotional Injury To Abandoned Children, Reid H. Hamilton
Vanderbilt Law Review
Child neglect and abandonment are serious problems in the United States. The number of children in foster care in the United States has risen from a third of a million in 1971 to over 750,000 in 1979. A significant number of these children have been abandoned voluntarily and permanently by their parents. Abandoned children suffer marked psychological consequences; even after receiving the best available foster care, such children suffer adverse emotional effects throughout their adult lives.' Due to the traditional American rule granting parents immunity from personal injury suits by their minor children, abandoned children generally have been uncompensated for …

The Rights Of An Illegitimate Child Post - Gomez V. Perez: A Legitimate Situation., Deborah J. Venezia
St. Mary's Law Journal
Throughout Texas history the legal status of illegitimacy has prevented an illegitimate child from enjoying the right of parental support guaranteed to a legitimate child. The United States Supreme Court’s decision in Gomez v. Perez rendered unconstitutional the denial of an illegitimate child’s right to parental support on the basis of his illegitimacy. In response to Gomez, the Texas Legislature enacted Chapter 13 of the Texas Family Code (TFC) which provides for voluntary legitimation of an illegitimate child by the father. Section 13.01 gave an illegitimate child, whose natural father did not voluntarily acknowledge paternity, procedure to establish the parent-child …
The Legal Effect Of Marital Separation Agreements Upon Community Property Status: Is It Time To Amend The Constitutional Definition Of Wife's Separate Property., Teresa A. Hunter
The Legal Effect Of Marital Separation Agreements Upon Community Property Status: Is It Time To Amend The Constitutional Definition Of Wife's Separate Property., Teresa A. Hunter
St. Mary's Law Journal
The present constitutional definition of married women’s separate property serves to protect the wife’s property rights and to preserve the community property system in Texas. However, the policy reasons for the constitutional definition no longer apply, since there is no present danger of the legislature reducing the property rights of married women or abandoning the community property system. Further, the needs and customs of the people of Texas have changed since the adoption of the original Texas Constitution in 1845. Today, it is estimated that thirty percent of couples who marry in the United States eventually divorce and sixty percent …
