Escaping Legal Limbo: Can Illinois Residents Who Entered Into A Legally Recognized Same-Sex Marriage Or Civil Union In Another State Dissolve Their Marriage In Illinois?, Michelle R. Green, Allen Wall, Jacob H. Karaca, Melissa Sereda
Michelle R. Green
Legal limbo: when a same-sex couple in a valid, legally performed marriage performed in a jurisdiction that recognizes such marriages wants to dissolve their marriage, but now lives in a jurisdiction that refuses to recognize their marriage as valid. This article explores the options available to such couples in Illinois and provides a practical roadmap for practitioners that we think provides the best chance of success for their clients seeking to dissolve a same-sex union.
While Illinois courts have not yet determined whether such a couple may lawfully dissolve their marriage in Illinois, many lessons can be gleaned from other …

A Tale Of Two Families -- Red Families V. Blue Families: Legal Polarization And The Creation Of Culture By Naomi Cahn & June Carbone, Rachel Rebouché
A Tale Of Two Families -- Red Families V. Blue Families: Legal Polarization And The Creation Of Culture By Naomi Cahn & June Carbone, Rachel Rebouché
UF Law Faculty Publications
In their thought-provoking book, Red Families v. Blue Families: Legal Polarization and the Creation of Culture, Naomi Cahn and June Carbone examine conflicting views on family formation in the "culture war." Mirroring the electoral maps of 2004 and 2008, the authors contend that regional differences between Republican and Democrat voters correspond to deeply held beliefs about family values. The "blue" family paradigm is essentially liberal: It stresses individual equality, tolerance of diverse lifestyles, and a role for government in helping people achieve educational and economic success. "Red" families are conservative. They value tradition, as expressed in religious beliefs or longstanding …

The focus of the survey is on presenting issues most pertinent to women, rather than on analyzing all issues raised in each case or bill. The survey period for cases in this issue is March 1, 1981 through February 28, 1982. Summaries of significant legislation enacted between October 1, 1980 and December 31, 1981 are also included.

A Final Obstacle: Barriers To Divorce For Immigrant Victims Of Domestic Violence In The United States, Mariela Olivares
A Final Obstacle: Barriers To Divorce For Immigrant Victims Of Domestic Violence In The United States, Mariela Olivares
Mariela Olivares
Low-income immigrant victims of domestic violence face significant—and understudied—social, legal and political obstacles in obtaining divorces from their abusive spouses. Moreover, funding restrictions on legal service providers often prohibit their representation of victims in divorce proceedings, which further reduces immigrant victims’ ability to obtain meaningful divorce relief. These issues are virtually unexamined in the scholarly literature; the problem of the abused, immigrant wife seeking a divorce has been given short shrift. This Article examines the problems confronting this community then proposes reforms to address its particular needs. Part I explores the unique condition of the immigrant living in the United …

Marriage Pluralism In The United States: On Civil And Religious Jurisdiction And The Demands Of Equal Citizenship, Linda C. Mcclain
Marriage Pluralism In The United States: On Civil And Religious Jurisdiction And The Demands Of Equal Citizenship, Linda C. Mcclain
Faculty Scholarship
“Legal pluralism” is hot, particularly in family law. As family law and practice in the United States have become global due to the globalization of the family, some argue it is time for U.S. family law to embrace more legal pluralism so that civil government would cede jurisdictional authority over marriage and divorce law to religious communities. They point to forms of pluralism already present in U.S. family law, such as covenant marriage (available in three states) and New York’s get statutes. They suggest the U.S. should learn from how many other nations allocate jurisdiction over marriage and divorce law …
Incompetence To Maintain A Divorce Action: When Breaking Up Is Odd To Do, Douglas Mossman Md, Amanda N. Shoemaker
Incompetence To Maintain A Divorce Action: When Breaking Up Is Odd To Do, Douglas Mossman Md, Amanda N. Shoemaker
Faculty Articles and Other Publications
The law has well-established provisions for handling divorce actions initiated on behalf of persons already adjudged incompetent or by competent petitioners against incompetent spouses. But how should a court respond if a mentally ill petitioner who is competent to manage most personal affairs seeks to divorce a spouse for bizarre, very odd, or crazy-sounding reasons?
Several recent social developments - better psychiatric treatment, wider acceptance of divorce, population trends, and the advent of “no-fault” and unilateral divorce laws - have made it more likely that mentally ill petitioners will seek divorces. Yet the question of whether to allow a divorce …

Why Same-Sex Marriage Will Not Repeat The Errors Of No-Fault Divorce, Austin R. Caster
Why Same-Sex Marriage Will Not Repeat The Errors Of No-Fault Divorce, Austin R. Caster
Austin R Caster
Because so many negative ramifications resulted from changing marriage laws through no-fault divorce legislation, it is understandable that those who rightfully feared no-fault divorce would also fear any additional changes to the definition of marriage. Those fears are unfounded as applied to same-sex marriage legislation, however, because the same consequences resulting from no-fault divorce do not apply to same-sex marriage. Whereas changing marriage exit rights through laws such as no-fault divorce legislation resulted in an increased divorced rate throughout the world, the opposite has happened in countries that have allowed same-sex marriage laws by changing marriage entrance rights. Society has …
Integrating Marital Property Into A Spouse’S Elective Share, Raymond C. O'Brien
Integrating Marital Property Into A Spouse’S Elective Share, Raymond C. O'Brien
Scholarly Articles
First, this Article begins with history, as this forms the basis of electiveshare law. It is necessary to begin with the historical basis of a spouse's right to support, and then proceed to examine how and why a spouse obtained a share of the property acquired during marriage. Second, because a spouse's rights at death were often very different from those that a spouse would obtain at divorce, it is necessary to explain the various judicial and statutory models adopted by the states to provide a modicum of protection to a surviving spouse at death. There are many models and …
Civil Rites: The Gay Marriage Controversy In Historical Perspective, Joanna L. Grossman
Civil Rites: The Gay Marriage Controversy In Historical Perspective, Joanna L. Grossman
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
This short essay, written for a volume that celebrates and reflects on Lawrence M. Friedman’s work in legal history and legal culture, explores the modern controversy about same-sex marriage through a historical lens. The legalization of same-sex marriage by five states, and the express condemnation of it by more than forty others, has reintroduced the age-old problem of non-uniform marriage laws and the complicated interactions that follow. This modern story - a challenge to traditional marriage, a divisive moral debate, and the emergence of strong oppositional forces that are stuck, at least temporarily, but perhaps indefinitely, in a kind of …

All’S Fair In Love And War: But What About In Divorce? The Fairness Of Property Division In American And English Big Money Divorce Cases, Margaret Ryznar
All’S Fair In Love And War: But What About In Divorce? The Fairness Of Property Division In American And English Big Money Divorce Cases, Margaret Ryznar
Margaret Ryznar
Eyebrows have recently arched not only at the high sums involved in big money divorce cases, but also at the amount of ink spilled on this relatively small subset of divorce cases. Yet, it is precisely in big money cases, wherein judges have discretion over resources that significantly exceed the needs of the parties, that fairness acquires substantial haziness. The question of fairness is particularly acute in short marriages, as well as when one spouse is at fault for the divorce or when one spouse contributes extraordinarily to the marriage. Courts in both England and the United States have been …
