No Difference?: An Analysis Of Same-Sex Parenting, George W. Dent 2011 Case Western Reserve University School of Law

No Difference?: An Analysis Of Same-Sex Parenting, George W. Dent

Faculty Publications

The principal argument for traditional marriage is that it is uniquely beneficial to children. The campaign for same-sex marriage (“SSM”) denies this argument and claims that same-sex couples are just as good as other parents; there is “no difference” between the two. This article analyzes this claim and concludes that it is unsubstantiated and almost certainly false.

"See You On Skype!": Relocation, Access, And Virtual Parenting In The Digital Age, Christine E. Doucet

Canadian Journal of Family Law

Since its emergence in the 1990s, the Internet has been celebrated as a tool for connecting people from all corners of the globe. Electronic communication tools, such as the Internet, now have a significant role in daily life, particularly with young people. While the legal field traditionally lags behind in integrating technological advancements into practice, these developments are increasingly, albeit somewhat slowly, being incorporated in family law disputes. Courts are now considering the use of virtual visitation to facilitate access between noncustodial parents and their children, particularly in contested relocation cases. This paper will examine the use of virtual visitation …

Mothers Wishing To Relocate With Children: Actual And Perceived Reasons, Patrick Parkinson, Judy Cashmore, Judi Single 2011 The Peter A. Allard School of Law

Mothers Wishing To Relocate With Children: Actual And Perceived Reasons, Patrick Parkinson, Judy Cashmore, Judi Single

Canadian Journal of Family Law

Thirty-eight mothers in Australia who wanted to move with their children were interviewed about their reasons for wanting to relocate. Forty men, all of whom opposed the mother's move, were also interviewed about what they perceived the mother's reasons were. There were nine former couples in the study. Most women had more than one reason for wanting to relocate, and there were quite often disparate reasons. Women's reasons mainly focused on relationships with family or potential new partners. Conversely, men were more likely to perceive the real reasons as being related to financial issues, jobs, and lifestyle. The article explores …

“Putting The Child First”: A Necessary Step In The Recognition Of The Right To Identity, Michelle Giroux, Mariana De Lorenzi

Canadian Journal of Family Law

In recent years, the number of nations which have banned the anonymous character of gamete donations has increased, including nations that once strongly supported such a position. This shift in national legislative policy worldwide has aided a growing recognition of the right to know one's origins in international law and gives a wider effect to this fundamental right. In Canada, while there has been discussion about the importance of the right to know one's biological origins, this right has not been universally guaranteed through legislation, either to adoptees or to the donor-conceived. This article refers mostly to Québec legislation, but …

Introducing The Next Class Of Bastard: An Assessment Of The Definitional Implications Of The Succession Law Reform Act For After-Born Children, Courtney Retter 2011 The Peter A. Allard School of Law

Introducing The Next Class Of Bastard: An Assessment Of The Definitional Implications Of The Succession Law Reform Act For After-Born Children, Courtney Retter

Canadian Journal of Family Law

After-born children are anachronistic aberrations. Defying any commonsense notion of procreation, an after-born child is conceived after the death of its parent. While a remarkable feat for reproductive medical science, posthumously conceived children push the boundaries of existing laws, creating problems previous generations of lawmakers did not need to consider. This article examines the challenges posed by after-born children in the area of intestate succession law. More specifically, using the province of Ontario as a case study, this article argues that the definitions of "child" and "issue" in the Succession Law Reform Act ["SLRA"] subject after-born children to …

Three Lies And A Truth: Adjudicating Maternity In Surrogacy Disputes, Browne C. Lewis 2011 Cleveland State University

Three Lies And A Truth: Adjudicating Maternity In Surrogacy Disputes, Browne C. Lewis

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

Historically, courts were called on to answer the following question: What makes a man a legal father? Courts applied different presumptions to arrive at the answer. For example, if the case involved a married couple, the woman's husband was presumed to be the legal father.1 In situations involving an unmarried woman, the man who helped to conceive the child was the legal father. While paternity was being litigated, maternity was resolved-the woman who gave birth to the child was the child's legal mother. The phrase “momma's baby, papa's maybe” reflected society's attitude towards maternity. Since the woman who gave birth …
