A Family Is a Family Is a Family
by Sara O'LearyWhen a teacher asks her class to think about what makes their families special, the answers are all different, but the same in one important way ... When a teacher asks the children in her class to think about what makes their families special, the answers are all different in many ways — but the same in the one way that matters most of all. One child is worried that her family is just too different to explain, but listens as her classmates talk about what makes their families special. One is raised by a grandmother, and another has two dads. One has many stepsiblings, and another has a new baby in the family. As her classmates describe who they live with and who loves them — family of every shape, size and every kind of relation — the child realizes that as long as her family is full of caring people, it is special.

Family Law and Gender in the Middle East and North Africa: Change and Stasis since the Arab Spring
by Adrien K. Wing Hisham A. KassimThe volume serves as reference point for anyone interested in the Middle East and North Africa as well as for those interested in women's rights and family law, generally or in the MENA region. It is the only book covering personal status codes of nearly a dozen countries. It covers Muslim family law in the following Middle East/north African countries: Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, and Qatar. Some of these countries were heavily affected by the Arab Spring, and some were not. With authors from around the world, each chapter of the book provides a history of personal status law both before and after the revolutionary period. Tunisia emerges as the country that made the most significant progress politically and with respect to women's rights. A decade on from the Arab Spring, across the region there is more evidence of stasis than change.
Family Law and the Indissolubility of Parenthood
by Patrick ParkinsonThere are few areas of public policy in the Western world where there is as much turbulence as in family law. Often the disputes are seen in terms of an endless war between the genders. Reviewing developments over the last 30 years in North America, Europe and Australasia, Patrick Parkinson argues that, rather than just being about gender, the conflicts in family law derive from the breakdown of the model on which divorce reform was predicated in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Experience has shown that although marriage may be freely dissoluble, parenthood is not. Dealing with the most difficult issues in family law, this book charts a path for law reform that recognizes that the family endures despite the separation of parents, while allowing room for people to make a fresh start and prioritizing the safety of all concerned when making decisions about parenting after separation.

Family Law in Perspective (Second Edition)
by Walter WadlingtonThis readable and authoritative text is designed for law students as a supplement in a basic family law course. The manageably-sized text approaches family law conceptually with coverage extending over a broad area. The Second Edition reviews the multiple state decisions and statutes occurring since the first edition, and integrates them with what has previously been the law. So too, the new edition analyzes the recent enactments of Congress and decisions by the federal judiciary that affect family law. The result of this integration of federal and state approaches is an up-to-date perspective on such issues as private ordering among adults, same sex marriage, relationships mirroring the benefits of marriage, abortion, child support and custody, relocation, domestic violence, and an increasing awareness of the international ramifications of support and custody orders. Procreation and the biological revolution have radically altered the establishment of paternity and maternity and increased scrutiny of the new reproductive technologies available. And regrettably, states and Congress continue to struggle with child abuse and neglect, termination of parental rights, and children residing in foster care or kinship care. Many of these topics are highlighted with a brief footnote so as to offer the reader a portal into further research into that particular subject. The new edition offers an explanation of what has occurred in the past and a rational suggestion as to the trends of the future.
Family Law Reimagined
by Jill Elaine HasdayOne of the law's most important and far-reaching roles is to govern family life and family members. Family law decides who counts as kin, how family relationships are created and dissolved, and what legal rights and responsibilities come with marriage, parenthood, sibling ties, and other family bonds. Yet despite its significance, the field remains remarkably understudied and poorly understood both within and outside the legal community. Family Law Reimagined is the first book to evaluate the canonical narratives, examples, and ideas that legal decisionmakers repeatedly invoke to explain family law and its governing principles. These stories contend that family law is exclusively local, that it repudiates market principles, that it has eradicated the imprint of common law doctrines which subordinated married women, that it is dominated by contract rules permitting individuals to structure their relationships as they choose, and that it consistently prioritizes children's interests over parents' rights. In this book, Jill Elaine Hasday reveals how family law's canon misdescribes the reality of family law, misdirects attention away from the actual problems that family law confronts, and misshapes the policies that legal authorities pursue. She demonstrates how much of the "common sense" that decisionmakers expound about family law actually makes little sense. Family Law Reimagined uncovers and critiques the family law canon and outlines a path to reform. Challenging conventional answers and asking questions that judges and lawmakers routinely overlook, it calls on us to reimagine family law.
