The Uniform Custodial Trust Act: An Alternative To Adult Guardianship, Louis A. Mezzullo, Michael C. Roach
The Uniform Custodial Trust Act: An Alternative To Adult Guardianship, Louis A. Mezzullo, Michael C. Roach
University of Richmond Law Review
The problems associated with court appointed guardianship are axiomatic. The public nature of the court proceeding required for appointment of a guardian is of concern to many families who become involved in the process. The expense and delay associated with the original hearing, as well as subsequent hearings that may be necessary in the operation of the guardianship, are also a great disadvantage of guardianship. As a means of managing property, guardianship is cumbersome, expensive and inflexible. Recently, stories of the expense and potential abuse of guardianship for adults have found their way into the popular press. While most people …
The Legislative Abrogation Of Interspousal Immunity In Virginia, Lisa Anderson-Lloyd
The Legislative Abrogation Of Interspousal Immunity In Virginia, Lisa Anderson-Lloyd
University of Richmond Law Review
Is a wife who hires someone to murder her husband liable in tort for the injuries he sustains in the murder attempt? The Virginia Supreme Court faced just this question in 1980 in Counts v. Counts. In light of the partial abrogation of the doctrine of interspousal immunity by the Virginia Supreme Court during the 1970's in wrongful death actions and inactions for damages in motor vehicle accident cases, a well reasoned prediction would have anticipated a further erosion of the doctrine. In Counts, however, the court disallowed the interspousal suit for an intentional tort, signaling that it had no …
The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act In Virginia, Elizabeth Carrington Shuff
The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act In Virginia, Elizabeth Carrington Shuff
University of Richmond Law Review
Due to the dramatic rise over the last decade in the number of child custody disputes between parents who are geographically separated, courts increasingly are faced with interstate litigation and its attendant legal and emotional problems. Because foreign state custody decrees traditionally have been viewed as modifiable and therefore have not been accorded the respect given to final decrees, parents who lose in one state have been encouraged to seek a more favorable forum in a second state. By employing such self-help methods as "child snatching,"' a parent can avail himself of a second day in court.
Federal Youth Corrections Act: The Continuing Charade, Wilfred J. Ritz
Federal Youth Corrections Act: The Continuing Charade, Wilfred J. Ritz
University of Richmond Law Review
No one will ever know, at least with any certainty, whether more harm than good has been done by the Federal Youth Corrections Act. The Act was enacted by Congress in 1950 upon the recommendation of a committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States. The youth offenders who have benefited under YCA are those who have committed the most serious crimes, such as murder, robbery, and rape, and those with the longest records of serious criminal conduct. Because of the YCA, some of these dangerous offenders have received less severe sentences, and some have been released on parole …
Statutory Changes In Child Placement, Kathleen S. Mehfoud
Statutory Changes In Child Placement, Kathleen S. Mehfoud
University of Richmond Law Review
Based on recommendations by the Joint Subcommittee on the Placement of Children for Adoption, [hereinafter cited as the Subcommittee], the 1978 Session of the General Assembly made significant changes in the adoption statutes. The study by the Subcommittee was authorized during the 1977 Session following the introduction of several bills which would have permitted physicians and attorneys to participate in child placement without being licensed. The Assembly felt that such an important issue was deserving of closer scrutiny and therefore commissioned the study. The Subcommittee was directed to probe with particular care the special case of "independent adoptions," that is, …
Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, Emily M. Trapnell
Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, Emily M. Trapnell
University of Richmond Law Review
A significant piece of legislation, the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, introduced for the second time in 1978, has been held over for consideration by the 1979 General Assembly. Passed by the Senate in 1977, the bill implementing the Act was killed in the House that year because, according to the bill's patron, Senator Joseph V. Gartlan, Jr., the short session in 1977 failed to provide sufficient time for House members to study the legislation. But Senator Gartlan is optimistic about the bill's chances in 1979 and this Comment proposes not only to explicate the major provisions of the Act …
