Domestic Relations, Barry B. Mcgough, Gregory R. Miller
Domestic Relations, Barry B. Mcgough, Gregory R. Miller
Mercer Law Review
Fourteen of the domestic relations appellate cases decided during the survey period' are digested here. Georgia law requires that appeals of domestic relations cases occur through the discretionary application process. A party wanting to appeal an order in a domestic relations case must first file an application to obtain the appropriate appellate court's permission to file an appeal. As part of a pilot project, the Georgia Supreme Court announced it would accept all "non-frivolous" applications filed in domestic relations cases during the calendar year 2003. The pilot project does not include cases that would be appealed first to the court …

When One Parent Goes And The Other Parent Stays: The Inconsistency And Inequity Of Guaranteeing Absent Parents Permanent Parental Rights, Wendee M. Hilderbrand
When One Parent Goes And The Other Parent Stays: The Inconsistency And Inequity Of Guaranteeing Absent Parents Permanent Parental Rights, Wendee M. Hilderbrand
Vanderbilt Law Review
It is well settled that the right to make decisions concerning the upbringing of one's children is a fundamental right deserving the utmost constitutional protection from unreasonable state interference. It has also become increasingly well settled over the past twenty-five years that this right is not automatically and permanently guaranteed by biology. Rather, parental stature encompasses both "rights and responsibilities," and the rights are only guaranteed to a parent who has assumed parental responsibilities. Why then is a responsible custodial parent subject to state interference with his or her parental decisions in the interest of guaranteeing an absent parent, who …

For And Against Marriage: A Revision, Anita Bernstein
For And Against Marriage: A Revision, Anita Bernstein
Michigan Law Review
When anthropologist Henry Sumner Maine issued his famous proclamation that modern legal development evolved "from Status to Contract," he used juridical categories to make a statement about progress. Voluntary relations now build the law, Maine declared. The alternative to voluntary relations - identity-based legal labels to decree what people may and may not do - must relocate to the dustbin of history. Only a backwater society would keep them. American legal change in the century-plus since Maine's death in 1888 gives credence to the claim that status inexorably yields to contract. At one level, newer developments refute the Maine thesis. …

The purpose of the Year 1 Studies of the Midwest Child Care Research Consortium was to describe hypothesized and potential indicators of quality, to measure observed quality, and to conduct preliminary analyses to determine relationships between the hypothesized and potential indicators and observations of quality, using a representative, randomly selected sample of the provider population. The states studied—Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska—comprise U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Region VII. Following an examination of the child care policy context in the four states, a telephone survey of 2,022 child care providers, and observations of 365 providers, were completed during …

Delinquency Jurisdiction In A Unified Family Court: Balancing Intervention, Prevention, And Adjudication, Gloria Danziger
Delinquency Jurisdiction In A Unified Family Court: Balancing Intervention, Prevention, And Adjudication, Gloria Danziger
All Faculty Scholarship
This article will examine the demographics of the current juvenile delinquency caseloads and will argue that, despite trends toward greater punitive measures-including placement of juveniles in adult courts for certain offenses, the concept of a therapeutic "family-centered court," which inspired Jane Addams and her colleagues, remains the most promising approach to delinquency, articulated most notably by the proponents of the unified family court concept. The article will consider and address objections and concerns raised with respect to this approach, looking at ways in which several states have incorporated juvenile delinquency into a family-centered unified family court.

From Genes, Marriage And Money To Nurture: Redefining Fatherhood, Nancy E. Dowd
From Genes, Marriage And Money To Nurture: Redefining Fatherhood, Nancy E. Dowd
UF Law Faculty Publications
Genes should not define fatherhood. This is wrong for men, and wrong for children. Genes define identity, but that link should be separated from the obligations and rights of parenthood. Specifically, I argue that fatherhood should be defined by doing (action) instead of being (status), with the critical component being acts of nurturing. In this essay I define in more detail this concept of fatherhood and its characteristics; discuss the consequences related to genetic ties; and consider the policy implications of defining fatherhood around nurture when genetic ties can be established for all children. It is critical throughout to remain …

Who Decides And What Difference Does It Make?: Defining Marriage In "Our Democratic, Federal Republic", Kevin J. Worthen
Who Decides And What Difference Does It Make?: Defining Marriage In "Our Democratic, Federal Republic", Kevin J. Worthen
Brigham Young University Journal of Public Law
The debate over the legality of same-sex marriage has centered largely on the substantive merits of the issue. This article does not. Instead, it seeks to draw attention to the perhaps equally important-but often overlooked-issue of the proper form and forum for resolving the substantive issue. It asks the question, if we awoke tomorrow to the newspaper headline -- "Legality of Same-Sex Marriage Decided" -- what difference would it make if the succeeding story referred to 1) a federal statute, 2) a U. S. Supreme Court decision, 3) a federal constitutional amendment, 4) a state statute, 5) a state supreme …
