Domestic Relations, Barry B. Mcgough, Gregory R. Miller Dec 1999

Domestic Relations, Barry B. Mcgough, Gregory R. Miller

Mercer Law Review

Of the domestic relations cases decided by the Georgia Supreme Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals during the survey period, twenty-seven are digested here. Possibly the most notable events of the survey period were pieces of legislation that were not enacted. A bill to restore direct appeals for certain domestic relations cases did not make it to the Governor's desk, and the Governor vetoed a bill that would have required trial judges hearing custody cases to consider the custodial elections of children between the ages of twelve and fourteen. While the Georgia General Assembly otherwise focused on ways to …

What Is A "Meretricious Relationship"?: An Analysis Of Cohabitant Property Rights Under Connell V. Francisco, Gavin M. Parr Oct 1999

What Is A "Meretricious Relationship"?: An Analysis Of Cohabitant Property Rights Under Connell V. Francisco, Gavin M. Parr

Washington Law Review

In the 1995 case Connell v. Francisco, the Supreme Court of Washington adopted an innovative and groundbreaking rule to resolve the property rights of cohabitants upon separation. After Connell, upon termination of a "meretricious relationship," a trial court must perform a just and equitable distribution of the property acquired during the relationship that would have been community property had the parties been married. In adopting this rule, the supreme court sought to resolve property rights arising out of cohabitation in a predictable and equitable manner while maintaining the distinction between marriage and cohabitation. Unfortunately, the meretricious relationship fiction the …

Family Law In The Age Of Distrust, Carl E. Scheider Jun 1999

Family Law In The Age Of Distrust, Carl E. Scheider

Articles

I have been invited to examine the relationship between American culture and American family law at the end of the century. No doubt I was foolish to accept the invitation, since the topic can hardly be sketched, much less discussed, within the compass of even a lengthy article. On the other hand, that happy fault forces me to accept the luxury of writing a speculative essay and of eschewing the footnotes that are the misery (and majesty) of the academic lawyer. But even thus set free I am still enchained. Family law is shaped by more cultural forces than I …

From Representing Clients To Serving Recipients: Transforming The Role Of The Iv-D Child Support Enforcement Attorney, Barbara Glesner Fines Apr 1999

From Representing Clients To Serving Recipients: Transforming The Role Of The Iv-D Child Support Enforcement Attorney, Barbara Glesner Fines

Faculty Works

Attorneys for the poor are being asked to serve more clients for less money and with more restrictions on their practice than ever before. These restrictions, both on amounts and uses of funds, influence the attorney's independent professional judgment. Determining when that influence is inappropriate becomes a difficult practical and ethical issue. Is this issue resolved if one simply reconceptualizes the role of the entities and individuals involved? What if the government becomes the client and the individual receiving legal services becomes something other than a client? Examining the development of governmental funding of child support enforcement, one finds just …
