Allocating The Fruits Of A Marriage: A Look At Virginia's New Domestic Relations Statute, Torrence M. Hinnant
University of Richmond Law Review
Divorce is on the rise. The social, emotional, and economic partnership that constitutes the foundation of the family is succumbing to both external and internal pressures, resulting in an alarming rate of divorce, an event which has significant consequences for the involved spouses and children.

Kentucky Law Survey: Domestic Relations, Louise Everett Graham
Kentucky Law Survey: Domestic Relations, Louise Everett Graham
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In the decade since Kentucky's adoption of the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act, the state's courts have faced the task of interpreting it in domestic relations litigation. This past year was no exception. A number of problems before Kentucky courts were recurrent issues. For example, the divisibility of educational degrees acquired by one spouse again required court assessment. Similarly, issues surrounding both maintenance and child support reappeared. These recurrent issues, along with new issues requiring court solution, heavily burdened trial and appellate courts. This Survey will discuss court resolutions of significant problems in the areas of marital property, maintenance and …
Child Support Law And Policy: The Systematic Imposition Of Costs On Women, Nan D. Hunter
Child Support Law And Policy: The Systematic Imposition Of Costs On Women, Nan D. Hunter
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
From 1970 to 1981, the number of divorces in the United States more than doubled, and the number of children living with one parent increased by fifty-four percent, to a total of 12.6 million children, or one child in five. The great majority of these children have a living noncustodial parent from whom they are entitled to receive support payrents. Thus, approximately twenty percent of the nation's children are involved- at least potentially-in the child support system. Yet, despite its growing reach, the child support system remains in many ways primitive and inchoate. Award amounts are inadequate to pay for …
Child Support In The Twenty-First Century, David L. Chambers
Child Support In The Twenty-First Century, David L. Chambers
Book Chapters
Fifty years from now, or a hundred years from now, will absent parents still be held financially liable for the support of their children? Two forces have shaped our current system of private liability. The first is a perception, wholly accurate, of large numbers of children in need, children who cannot be adequately provided for by the single parent with whom they live. The second is a moral judgment about absent parents: that they can be justly required to contribute to their children's support throughout the children's minority. Change may occur in the laws of child support if there cease …
Collaboration Between Lawyers And Mental Health Professionals: Making It Work, Donald N. Duquette
Collaboration Between Lawyers And Mental Health Professionals: Making It Work, Donald N. Duquette
Book Chapters
Many questions presented to the court in child welfare cases are resolved with the direction, professional advice, and judgment of mental health professionals. Lawyers and judges look to a number of different professions for this guidance; chief among them are psychiatrists, psychologists, and clinical social workers. The focus of this chapter is on ways for lawyers to enhance and improve the performance of the mental health professionals in the courtroom.
This chapter presents a step-b/step process for lawyer collaboration with mental health professionals in child protection and foster care cases, which is relevant for attorneys representing the child welfare agency, …
Illegitimacy: Suggestion For Reform Following Mills V. Halbluetzel, Raymond C. O'Brien
Illegitimacy: Suggestion For Reform Following Mills V. Halbluetzel, Raymond C. O'Brien
Scholarly Articles
In the recent decision of Mills v. Habluetzel, the Supreme Court implies that as technology advances and scientific tests make the determination of biological paternity more certain, the state or governmental interest in avoiding evidentiary problems of false claims, will cease to justify the use of any facile statutory denials of substantive rights claimed by illegitimates First, in the advent of scientific ability to prove the fact of paternity, unrealistic legal prerequisites or statutory limitations extinguishing the rights of illegitimates will not prevail under a constitutional analysis. Second, the use of science implies greater inquiry into all aspects of the …
Marriage Settlements 1601-1740, Lloyd Bonfield
Marriage Settlements 1601-1740, Lloyd Bonfield
Books
The history of the family has become an area of great interest, yet the property arrangements entered into upon marriage, a crucial aspect of the process of familial wealth transmission and distribution in the landed classes in early modern England, have never been systematically studied. In the light of evidence provided by hitherto unused family muniments, Dr Bonfield analyses the legal, social and economic aspects of these settlements, and discusses the development and impact of the strict settlement.

The Constitutional Status Of Marriage, Kinship, And Sexual Privacy -- Balancing The Individual And Social Interests, Bruce C. Hafen
The Constitutional Status Of Marriage, Kinship, And Sexual Privacy -- Balancing The Individual And Social Interests, Bruce C. Hafen
Michigan Law Review
Today's lopsided competition between the individual and social interests has made the law a party to the contemporary haze that clouds our vision of what a family is or should be. In that sense, recent legal developments have contributed to the crisis Stanley Hauerwas has identified regarding American family life today - our inability to define "what kind of family should exist" and our inability to articulate ''why we should think of [the family] as our most basic moral institution."
In response to those two questions, this Article considers whether, as a constitutional matter, the courts should recognize claims by …
Sharing Parenthood After Divorce, Carol Sanger
Sharing Parenthood After Divorce, Carol Sanger
Faculty Scholarship
Ciji Ware's first sentence in the popularly publicized Sharing Parenthood After Divorce directs the reader to "read this book before you hire a lawyer." Because many separated and divorced parents will follow Ware's instruction, family law practitioners should be aware of Ware's approach to and recommendations regarding custody. Her position is clear. The book is subtitled An Enlightened Custody Guide for Mothers, Fathers, and Kids and the meaning of "enlightened" is apparent from the title of Part One, "Why You Should Choose Shared Custody." But because her message is sometimes more enthusiastic than considered, lawyers and parents should be aware …
