Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Domestic Relations, Donald K. Butler Jan 1988

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Domestic Relations, Donald K. Butler

University of Richmond Law Review

In 1988, the Virginia General Assembly made two significant changes with respect to child support awards. First, the authority of the court has been extended so that the court may order support for a child over the age of eighteen who is still attending high school. In order to award support for a child who is no longer a minor, the child must be "(i) a full-time high school senior, (ii) not self-supporting and (iii) living in the home of the parent seeking or receiving child support, until the child reaches the age of nineteen or graduates from high school, …

Enforcement Of Surrogate Mother Contracts: Case Law, The Uniform Acts, And State And Federal Legislation, James T. Flaherty Jan 1988

Enforcement Of Surrogate Mother Contracts: Case Law, The Uniform Acts, And State And Federal Legislation, James T. Flaherty

Cleveland State Law Review

Surrogate motherhood is possibly the most viable family issue in today's society, and especially in the law. Surrogacy will be treated here solely as a fact of life, and examined solely from the point of view of its legal status under the appropriate Uniform Acts, existing and proposed legislation outside Ohio, and existing Ohio law. It may sound strange that Ohio was chosen as an example, in that a search of Ohio law will not show any law directly dealing with surrogacy. But then, that is the point. Ohio is one of only three states that have adopted both relevant …

Domestic Relations - Post-Separation Sexual Intercourse Precludes Enforcement Of Agreement Requiring Parties To Live Separate And Apart - Higgins V. Higgins, Gerald H. Groon Jr. Jan 1988

Domestic Relations - Post-Separation Sexual Intercourse Precludes Enforcement Of Agreement Requiring Parties To Live Separate And Apart - Higgins V. Higgins, Gerald H. Groon Jr.

Campbell Law Review

This Note will identify how the majority in Higgins analyzed prior case law to derive a legal definition for the term "separate and apart." This Note will also serve as a caveat to the legal community. The Higgins decision resulted from the couple's failure to abide by the terms of a condition precedent that had been inserted into a property settlement provision of the separation agreement. The decision should be confined to its narrow facts. The case does however deserve close scrutiny. Application by subsequent courts of the Higgins ruling as precedent for the proposition that isolated acts of sexual …

Facilitative Ethics In Divorce Mediation: A Law And Process Approach, Steven H. Hobbs

University of Richmond Law Review

Mediation is becoming a vital part of family legal problem solving and is creating new challenges for the lawyer practicing in the family law setting. The American Bar Association, the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts and others recently have proposed standards of behavior for mediators where none have existed before. States also have attempted to define the appropriate realm of ethical practice for family mediation.

Defining "Support" Under Bankruptcy Law: Revitalization Of The "Necessaries" Doctrine, Sheryl L. Scheible Jan 1988

Defining "Support" Under Bankruptcy Law: Revitalization Of The "Necessaries" Doctrine, Sheryl L. Scheible

Vanderbilt Law Review

In recognition of the social reality that marriage often does not last forever, divorce law in the United States has undergone radical changes in the past few decades.' All states have relaxed restrictions on divorce by adopting some form of no-fault divorce grounds. In addition, recent developments have facilitated the termination of a married couple's relationship in economic terms as well. For instance, states today are less inclined to consider the role of marital fault in the settlement of the financial incidents of divorce, and encourage divorcing couples to end their marriages by negotiation and contract in order to minimize …

Protecting The Parental Rights Of Incarcerated Mothers Whose Children Are In Foster Care: Proposed Changes To New York's Terminaton Of Parental Rights Law, Philip M. Genty

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article examines the parental rights of incarcerated mothers under New York's foster care and termination of parental rights laws. It describes the foster care system in New York, the grounds for a termination of parental rights proceeding, and the problems that persist despite New York's legislative reforms. After examining these problems, the author proposes several legislative solutions, which include: (1) improving incarcerated parents' access to court proceedings; and (2) requiring social services agencies and prison officials to provide the services necessary to maintain and strengthen the parents' parental relationships. This Article concludes that, while New York has enacted legislation …
