Liberty And Lawyers In Child Protection, Donald N. Duquette Jan 1987

Liberty And Lawyers In Child Protection, Donald N. Duquette

Book Chapters

The distinguishing feature of the juvenile or family court which sets it apart from all other elements of the child protection system is that the court acts as arbiter of personal liberty. When society at large, through child protective services, attempts to intervene in the private life of a family on behalf of a child, the court must assure that the rights of the parents, the rights of the child, and the rights of society are protected and are abridged only after full and fair and objective court process. Only the court can abridge these personal rights in other than …

Whose Child Is It Anyway? Awarding Joint Custody Over The Objection Of One Parent, Daniel R. Mummery Jan 1987

Whose Child Is It Anyway? Awarding Joint Custody Over The Objection Of One Parent, Daniel R. Mummery

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note addresses issues of joint custody of children in divorce cases where one parent objects to that arrangement. Part I examines New York's approach to custody, and finds it unduly restrictive and thus likely to inhibit full consideration of joint custody as an alternative. Part II of the Note discusses the historical background of child custody and explains the emergence of joint custody as a result of perceived inadequacies inherent in the sole custody arrangement. Part III discusses different approaches taken by various jurisdictions to the controversial issue of awarding joint custody over the objection of one parent, and …

The Abuses Of Social Science: A Response To Fineman And Opie., David L. Chambers Jan 1987

The Abuses Of Social Science: A Response To Fineman And Opie., David L. Chambers

Articles

Martha Fineman and Anne Opie have written an article on the misuses of social science research by those who are recommending policies for the placement of children after divorce.' The subject is important. When Professor Fineman told me that she and Opie were using an article I wrote about child custody2 as an example of some of the problems they discussed, I anticipated a useful exchange on the subject. Having read their article, I have decided against an exchange on the merits of the larger issues they raise. I have so decided because their article, which refers extensively to my …

Redesigning The Spouse's Forced Share, John H. Langbein, Lawrence W. Waggoner Jan 1987

Redesigning The Spouse's Forced Share, John H. Langbein, Lawrence W. Waggoner

Articles

American forced-share law underwent a major round of reform in the 1960s. The main objective was to prevent the decedent from engaging in "fraud on the widow's share," that is, using nominal inter vivos transfers to evade the surviving spouse's forced-share entitlement. In jurisdictions that follow the Uniform Probate Code of 1969 (UPC), that mischief has been eradicated. The UPC, which is discussed in some detail below, extends the forced-share entitlement to property that has been the subject of inter vivos transfer. In the present article we develop the view that the time has come for a further round of …

Evidence - North Carolina Allows Admission Of The Unthinkable: Hearsay Exceptions And Statements Made By Sexually Abused Children - State V. Smith, Benita A. Lloyd Jan 1987

Evidence - North Carolina Allows Admission Of The Unthinkable: Hearsay Exceptions And Statements Made By Sexually Abused Children - State V. Smith, Benita A. Lloyd

Campbell Law Review

This Note will discuss how the court's decision to expand the traditional hearsay exceptions under Rule 803 ranks in effectiveness with other methods which allow into evidence hearsay statements of a child victim. While Smith does not provide admission of all critical hearsay statements made by sexually abused children, the decision goes a long way in allowing North Carolina courts to admit the unthinkable.

The Inapplicability Of Market Theory To Adoptions, Tamar Frankel, Francis H. Miller Jan 1987

The Inapplicability Of Market Theory To Adoptions, Tamar Frankel, Francis H. Miller

Faculty Scholarship

Judge Posner addresses an important issue. More than 130,000 couples in this country want to adopt children, and plenty are available. But most couples want healthy, white infants, and those children are in short supply. To get the child of their choice, these couples are forced to pay large sums of money to intermediaries. On the other hand, many unwed, teenage women face unwanted pregnancies. Many of them opt for abortion, which is relatively inexpensive, or for carrying to term and raising the children themselves, which is governmentally subsidized. But few of these women choose to have the child and …

Improving Parent-Child Relationships Within The Divorced Family: A Call For Legal Reform, John S. Murray Apr 1986

Improving Parent-Child Relationships Within The Divorced Family: A Call For Legal Reform, John S. Murray

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In this Article, I address these three questions within the framework provided by the goal to be achieved. Part I outlines the present system and its problems, discussing both its effects on divorced family members and the problems inherent in the exclusive custody rule. Part II builds a proposal for legal reform by first considering the effect of conflict within the family, then identifying five value guidelines that should control the relationships, and finally describing the proposal in detail. Part III analyzes the pros and cons of the reform proposal to determine whether its adoption could establish a healthier environment …
