Repealing No-Fault Divorce Would Harm Survivors Of Domestic Violence In Texas, Judge Elmo B. Hunter Legal Center For Victims Of Crimes Against Women Jan 2018

Repealing No-Fault Divorce Would Harm Survivors Of Domestic Violence In Texas, Judge Elmo B. Hunter Legal Center For Victims Of Crimes Against Women

Hunter Center Publications

For the past two legislative sessions, the Texas Legislature has explored the repeal of no-fault divorce in the state. This paper explains why such action would be detrimental to the more than five million survivors of domestic violence in Texas. Briefly stated, requiring proof of fault in order to obtain a divorce imposes financial burdens that trap victims in abusive relationships and increases the risk of harm and lethality.

The economic impacts of repealing unilateral no-fault divorce will adversely affect not only victims of domestic violence but also the State of Texas itself. By its nature, fault-based divorce is significantly …

Journal of Air Law and Commerce

The ability to physically interact with an on-orbit object is an idea that has been stymied by its great cost. Yet the rewards are incalculable. Autonomous on-orbit servicing (OOS) vehicles can potentially repair or salvage an ailing satellite or remove it from orbit. The former can help recoup the considerable investment that goes into the development and construction of a satellite, and the latter would reduce space debris. In short, the development of OOS should be promoted. This paper will explore the legal ramifications and complications of unmanned on-orbit servicing missions. After reviewing the international framework and the current state …


The U Visa's Failed Promise For Survivors Of Domestic Violence, Natalie Nanasi Jan 2018

The U Visa's Failed Promise For Survivors Of Domestic Violence, Natalie Nanasi

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

Recognizing the unique vulnerabilities of immigrants who become victims of crime in the United States, Congress enacted the U visa, a form of immigration relief that provides victims, including survivors of domestic violence, a path to legal status.

Although these two goals were purportedly coequal, in practice, by requiring survivors to cooperate with …
