American Bar Association Navigating Emotional Currents in Collaborative
Book SynopsisDesigned to help all professionals--lawyers, as well as mental health professionals, financial neutrals, etc.--who practice in the area of Collaborative Divorce, this book explains how marital dynamics (both conscious and unconscious), combined with the traumas of both the current divorce and those resulting from previous situations, will be re-enacted within the Collaborative process. If these go unaddressed, misunderstood or unmetabolized by the team, they can impede progress, create difficulty in team functioning, result in a compromised agreement, or cause a complete breakdown of the process itself. Navigating Emotional Currents in Collaborative Divorce offers both a theoretical and practical roadmap for navigating the Collaborative process from an emotional point of view. The goal of the authors, Kate Scharff and Lisa Herrick, is to sensitize all team members to the importance of attending to and working with their clients' emotional needs, and to give them the tools to do so in order to achieve the best result. In presenting this framework for thinking about divorcing clients and how best to work with them, Scharff and Herrick make these key assumptions: The ways our clients think, feel, and behave are often driven by unconscious factors; Those unconscious factors play a strong, sometimes problematic role in the course of a Collaborative case; and, It is only by developing an understanding of the dynamics underlying our clients' patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that we can help them to navigate the Collaborative process. The authors examine the psychological underpinnings of the Collaborative process itself (why we do what we do), the ways in which individual professionals and their teams are affected by the emotional make-ups of their clients, and the issues of assessment and technique. One might wonder how relevant it is to their divorce practice that the author venture into what might feel like psychotherapeutic terrain. The primary answer is that unless you understand all the reasons that a couple becomes a couple, you can't understand what happens to them as their marriage unravels.

American Bar Association The Special Needs Child and Divorce: A Practical
Book SynopsisFamily lawyers are dealing with a burgeoning number of cases involving special needs children. These families have much higher divorce rates and their cases often involve more specialized handling. To meet these demands, this book takes a practical look at what special needs are, how they are relevant in the arena of divorce, and what lawyers can do to make the system work better for these children and their families.Special needs are often determined following the categories that the public education system considers eligible for special education services, including autism, physical limitation and health impairment, emotional disturbance, learning disability, and developmental delay, among many others. The author begins by discussing what special needs are in terms of legislation and how such cases are evaluated and then handled in the court. Issues addressed include the initial interview, drafting divorce petitions and motions, and legislation and case law.The Special Needs Child and Divorce, Second Edition examines how child support guidelines and standard visitation schedules often don't meet the needs of special needs children, and Chapter 6 provides a model child support chart, parenting plan, and modification for these cases. Subsequent chapters address other aspects raised by handling a case with a special needs child, including maintenance and property division, the roles of the parties in the divorce process, guardianships, special needs trusts, and other estate planning issues.Drawn from her years of experience in handling divorce and family court cases involving special needs children, the author provides numerous practice tips throughout the book. In addition, she includes valuable sample language and forms throughout the text that illustrate how modifications are needed to adequately address issues raised by a special needs child. Other chapters offer sample forms and documents that have been developed or adapted for use in divorce cases involving children with special needs and checklists to help guide you through the key elements of handling the case.Table of ContentsContentsAuthor’s Note ixAbout the Author xiAcknowledgments xiiiIntroduction xvCHAPTER 1What Are Special Needs? 1I.

Academic Studies Press The Unique Family Law in the State of Israel
Book SynopsisIn the State of Israel, the unique family law derives from ancient Jewish law, halakhic traditions, and an extensive legal tradition spanning many centuries and geographic locations. This book examines Israeli family law in comparison with the corresponding law in the United States and illuminates common issues in legal systems worldwide. The Israeli system is primarily controlled by the religious law of the parties. Thus, religious courts were also established and granted enforcement powers equivalent to those of the civil courts. This is a complex situation because the religious law applied in these courts is not always consistent with gender equality and civil rights practiced in civil court. This book seeks to clarify that tension and offer solutions. The comprehensive analysis in this book may serve as a guide for those interested in family law: civil court judges, rabbinical court judges, lawyers, mediators, arbitrators, and families themselves. Topics central to the book include issues subject to modification, the right of a minor to independent status, extramarital relationships, and joint property.Trade Review“This excellent book is not only about the unique family law in Israel, but also gives clarity to the bureaucratic quagmire of the American legal system… In the state of Israel, the unique family law derives from ancient Jewish law, halakhic traditions, and rabbinic legal reception history spanning millennia. This book brilliantly examines Israeli family law in comparison with the U.S. matrimonial laws and connects the dots in international legal systems. The Israeli system is primarily controlled by religious law and granted enforcement powers equivalent to those of the civil courts. This insightful book seeks to clarify the tension and offer solutions. It surely will guide those interested in family law: civil court judges, rabbinical court judges, lawyers, mediators, arbitrators, and families. Cohen exposes not only the weaknesses in Israeli law but other inequities in Western democracies, often with giving practical models to fix the flaws and overhaul dysfunctional procedures.”—David B Levy, Touro College LCW, NYC, AJL Reviews

Intersentia Ltd Fifty Years in Family Law
Book SynopsisStephen Cretney has long been regarded as the leading English scholar in the field of family law, as prolific as he is profound. From textbooks that provided guidance to generations of students to the crowning achievement of Family Law in the Twentieth Century: A History, his writing has always been a model of elegance and erudition. Even if the essays in this book had not been written in his honour, they would inevitably have had to rely heavily on his work. Private ordering, marriage, civil partnership, cohabitation, children, separation, divorce - the entire spectrum of family law is covered here - have all benefited from his insightful comments and meticulous scholarship. What also became apparent from the rush of judges and academics (including both established and up-and-coming researchers) wanting to contribute to this work is the equally high personal regard in which Stephen Cretney is held by his - for want of a better word - 'peers'. This book is a labour of love. With a foreword by Nicholas Wilson and contributions by Andrew Bainham, Chris Barton, Elizabeth Cooke, Ruth Deech, Gillian Douglas, John Eekelaar, Stephen Gilmore, Brenda Hale, Sonia Harris-Short, Joanna Harwood, Jonathan Herring, Sue Jenkinson, Sanford N.

Intersentia Ltd Principles of European Family Law Regarding
Book SynopsisThe Principles of European Family Law drafted by the Commission on European Family Law (CEFL) contain models which may be used for the harmonization of family law in Europe. This book contains the Principles regarding Property Relations between Spouses. In these Principles, the CEFL has developed an all-inclusive set of rules for two matrimonial property regimes: the participiation in acquisitions and the community of acquistions. Both regimes have been put on an equal footing. Each matrimonial property regime, whether it functions as a default or as an optional regime is strongly connected with the rights and duties of the spouses and the possibility for them to make a marital property agreement. These issues have also been addressed by including two common Chapters on the General Rights and Duties of Spouses and on Marital Property Agreements which are to be applied regardless of which of the regimes applies.

Intersentia Ltd Divided Parents, Shared Children: Legal Aspects
Book SynopsisThere has been much discussion worldwide on parenting after parental separation, especially on the desirability for the children involved of equally shared care (co-parenting) and the feasibility of legal arrangements in which the children alternate their residence between their parents' houses (residential co-parenting). Much is unclear about how residential co-parenting affects children and therefore how the legislator and practitioners should deal with this arrangement.Divided Parents, Shared Children seeks to answer three questions to further understand the phenomenon of co-parenting and to provide the legislator, the courts and parents with possible solutions: What kind of legal framework exists in England and Wales, the Netherlands and Belgium with regard to (residential) co-parenting and what can these countries learn from each other's legal systems? Does residential co-parenting occur in the countries discussed, and if so how predominant is it? Should these jurisdictions encourage or discourage residential co-parenting through legal action? To answer these questions, this book uses not only legal data, from both empirical and literature research, but also sociological, psychological and demographic studies into residential arrangements and their effect on children.

WauteletTrade Review'This Italian initiative for a truly European Commentary on the new Regulations for property regimes of international couples must be warmly welcomed. Conceived with the help of a transnational team comprising some of the best academics in the field, this Commentary will help practitioners understanding the new harmonised regimes, as well as other interested lawyers making the necessary cross-references with other rules of the European judicial area. This new Elgar Commentary will be a guide for and towards the European future.' --Louis d'Avout, Université Panthéon-Assas (Paris II), France'The European Property Regulations for spouses and registered partners have, so far, not attracted much attention in legal literature, compared to other European instruments. Over a year after they became applicable, the supply of books on both Regulations in English is still scarce. This gap will now be closed by Ilaria Viarengo and Pietro Franzina with this truly comprehensive Commentary.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Rome III Regulation: A Commentary on the Law
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive Commentary provides an in-depth, article-by-article analysis of the Rome III Regulation, the uniform rules adopted by the EU to determine the law applicable to cross-border divorce and legal separation. Disputes on family matters form part of everyday litigation in the EU, with around 140,000 international divorces per year; this Commentary offers a clear legal understanding of the Regulation that governs this increasingly significant area of family law. Written by a team of renowned experts on private international law in relation to family matters, chapters contextualize and examine the provisions of the Regulation, with clear insight into the rationale behind the text. The contributors engage critically with each article, analysing Rome III's overall effectiveness and offering a balanced critique from a variety of European perspectives. Private international law scholars and practitioners alike will find this Commentary an incisive and useful point of reference. It will be of particular interest to those working in family law, including judges, lawyers, public notaries and family mediators, as well as graduate students looking for in-depth knowledge of the subject.

Kruger, C. Rupp, J. VerhellenTrade Review'This book makes a significant contribution to the literature on an important, complex and sensitive topic. It is comprehensive, meticulous and well written. It explains how the Rome III Regulation will, or should, operate in practice but, most importantly, it thoughtfully addresses the many questions that the Regulation leaves unanswered.' --Symeon Symeonides, Willamette University, US'As about 13% of divorces in Europe have links with more than one country, the Rome III Regulation covers a significant need in EU law. However, lawyers and judges, particularly, must still spend their time solving problems such as how to avoid forum shopping, and clarifying the relationship with other instruments on related matters such as maintenance obligations. This Commentary, coordinated by Sabine Corneloup with the participation of outstanding specialists, provides an essential tool to help in this difficult task.' --Alegría Borrás, University of Barcelona, SpainTable of ContentsContents: Introduction 1 Sabine Corneloup CHAPTER I: SCOPE, RELATION WITH REGULATION (EC) No 2201/2003, DEFINITIONS AND UNIVERSAL APPLICATION Article 1 Scope 23 Susanne Lilian Gössl and Jinske Verhellen Article 2 Relation with Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 37 Sabine Corneloup Article 3 Definitions 42 Petra Hammje Article 4 Universal application 60 Fabienne Jault-Seseke CHAPTER II: UNIFORM RULES ON THE LAW APPLICABLE TO DIVORCE AND LEGAL SEPARATION Article 5 Choice of applicable law by the parties 65 Cristina González Beilfuss Article 6 Consent and material validity 79 Natalie Joubert Article 7 Formal validity 87 Alexandre Boiché Article 8 Applicable law in the absence of a choice by the parties 92 Pietro Franzina Article 9 Conversion of legal separation into divorce 113 Laura Carpaneto Article 10 Application of the law of the forum 125 Bettina Heiderhoff Article 11 Exclusion of renvoi 139 Stefano Dominelli Article 12 Public policy 150 Bettina Heiderhoff Article 13 Differences in national law 163 Christelle Chalas Article 14 States with two or more legal systems – territorial conflicts of laws 177 Caroline Sophie Rupp Article 15 States with two or more legal systems – inter-personal conflicts of laws 191 Caroline Sophie Rupp Article 16 Non-application of this Regulation to internal conflicts of laws 200 Caroline Sophie Rupp CHAPTER III: OTHER PROVISIONS Article 17 Information to be provided by participating Member States 206 Alexandre Boiché Article 18 Transitional provisions 210 Cristina González Beilfuss Article 19 Relationship with existing international conventions 214 Thalia Kruger Article 20 Review clause 223 Sabine Corneloup CHAPTER IV: FINAL PROVISIONS Article 21 Entry into force and date of application 225 Sabine Corneloup Index 227

Boydell & Brewer Ltd State, Law and Gender: Debating the Age of
Book SynopsisA critical analysis of marriage law in India from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century In State, Law and Gender, Shreya Roy highlights how Indian law has been implicated in women's subordination. It explores the ideological expectations that underpin women's legal regulation, as well as the traditions in which law subjugates women - the multifaceted and elusive ways wherein law validates profoundly gender-based suppositions, relationships, and characters. The book demonstrates that the correlation of moral precepts and legal norms is associated with the broader history of the age of marriage of girls in India, and it has also shown how history includes diverse alternatives to understanding and addressing the problem of child marriages that do not rely on liberal legal frameworks. The book critically analyzes and evaluates the social and legislative history of the period focusing particularly on three significant pieces of legislation - Act III of 1872, the Age of Consent Act of 1891, and the Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929. It traces the history of the legal changes related to the age of marriage in India after Independence, and links this issue with the present-day concern and the Government's initiative for raising the age of marriage of girls.Table of ContentsList of Tables Acknowledgements Abbreviations Introduction 1.

Brown Dog Books THE INVISIBLE PARENT: The Dark Art of Parental
Book SynopsisWhat happens when the very same system designed to protect children fails? That’s exactly what is happening right now in the UK family courts in cases of Parental Alienation, a form of post-divorce abuse. Cafcass define Parental Alienation as ‘when a child’s resistance or hostility towards one parent is not justified and is the result of psychological manipulation by the other parent’; yet experts, therapists and social workers are not trained to assess or deal with cases involving Parental Alienation. I spent years making my case to judges, experts and lawyers, all of whom failed to agree on what was actually happening between my ex-wife, my kids and myself. At the time it seemed like I was constantly trying to prove a negative, to find a new direction to reach my kids, and while all were promising, all ended in expensive dead ends as my ex-wife pursued her agenda. If I had to sum up the experience of trying to prove Parental Alienation in the courts, I would describe it as being trapped in the backseat of a car while it crashes in slow motion. The system is not fit for purpose. The family courts are slow and busy, burdened by the backlog of cases. Once you do get a hearing, they are often set months away and even then, traditional safeguarding assessments fail to detect Parental Alienation. The longer the child is away from a parent, the harder it is to stop the alienation, and the longer the issue remains unaddressed, the risk of the children suffering mental health and behavioural problems increases. Alienated parents also often display signs of post-traumatic stress: paranoia, anxiety and in some cases are suicidal. It is my hope that this book will not only draw attention to the potential injustice in cases of Parental Alienation and the need for meaningful reform to prevent further irreparable damage, but that it will help a parent going through a family separation spot signs before it’s too late. About the author: The author is a successful businessman, loving father and victim of parental alienation. The author has used a ghost writer to validate his story. The characters have been anonymised to both protect their privacy and lift the veil on the inner workings of the family court, which the author believes is in the public interest of protecting children from harm.

Intersentia Ltd Legal Pluralism and Efficiency in Marriage Law
Book SynopsisBased on economic theory, this book offers a novel approach to understanding the marital dynamic, explaining the substantive regulation of marriage and modeling legal outcomes at the conflict of laws level. Marriage law and international marriage law are presented as two sides of the same coin, two separate but complementary areas of the law dealing with different aspects of the relationship, pursuing the same goal: providing a legal framework to encourage continued cooperation between spouses – a positive spiral of repeated non-zero-sum-games – that enable both of them to obtain benefits of various kinds which are difficult or even impossible to achieve separately. On this ground the author proposes specific rules to regulate the party autonomy for the law governing the relationship, and to determine the applicable law in absence of a choice of law agreement for key aspects of the relationship: maintenance obligations, divorce, and property regime. The book is organized in two parts, preceded by an introductory section, where the results achieved by the harmonization of conflict rules promoted by the EU are examined critically. The EU instruments are used as a mere example to illustrate the problems in terms of unpredictability and inconsistency caused by the current widespread view to resolve conflict of laws in marriage law. With this background, the first part puts forward economics as the approach to better comprehend the couple’s expectations of marriage. It focuses on explaining the economic rationale behind marriage, depicting its contractual nature, and demonstrating that common legal remedies as well as several mandatory and default rules in modern marriage law indeed have an economic foundation. The second part is devoted entirely to the conflict of laws dimension of marriage. Here, the costs generated by the legal pluralism, the role of private international law as promoter of cooperative dynamics, the plausibility of the emergence of a law market – an authentic regulatory competition between jurisdictions for marriage regulations, the benefits of removing restrictions on party autonomy, and the design of a default rule for the determination of the applicable law are discussed from a law and economics perspective. The theoretical framework and conclusions arrived at do not depend on specific legal provisions in force in certain jurisdictions. The book will therefore be of interest to scholars and lawmakers attempting to launch reforms anywhere or looking for a practical and novel application of economics in the analysis of the law. RORICK TOVAR GALVÁN is specialist in private international law with an extensive expertise in comparative law.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Family Lawyers: The Divorce Work of Solicitors
Book SynopsisRecent changes to the legal aid system and the promotion of mediation have put the future of family law work in doubt. The legal process is widely perceived as being in itself harmful to the resolution of family disputes and wastefully expensive. Yet such attitudes are based on little evidence. Family Lawyers considers these issues on the basis of research into the way family lawyers deal with their divorcing clients, and how this fits into their general legal practice. It examines how solicitors negotiate both with their clients and with the "other side", how long cases take and what causes delays, and whether clients get value for their money. At a time of great change within the delivery of legal services, this book provides an insight into the real world of family solicitors, and will allow a more balanced assessment of the role and of the place of the law in this aspect of social life.Trade Review...fascinating reading Geraldine Horwood New Law Journal October 2000 Ultimately, one has to believe, work such as this does have influence beyond academia.

Pallas Athene Publishers Marriage of Inconvenience
Book Synopsis"A page turner, even for those familiar with the subject...The surprising truth that emerges is no less human, and no less revealing about the Victorians than the myths; on the contrary it gives a far more compelling insight into what relationships, family and money really mean." — Country Life "Ruskin’s marriage was doomed from the start, but not for the reason most people think, argues this well-researched book." — The Times Effie Gray was an innocent victim of a male-dominated society, repressed and mistreated. Or was she? John Ruskin, the greatest art critic and social reformer of his time, was a callous misogynist and upholder of the patriarchy. Or was he? John Everett Millais, boy genius, rescued the heroine from the tyrannical clutches of the husband who left his wedding unconsummated for six years. Or did he? What really happened in the most scandalous love triangle of the 19th century? Was it all about impotence and pubic hair? Or was it about money, power and freedom? If so, whose? And what possibilities were there for these young people caught in a world racked by social, financial and political turmoil? The accepted story of the Ruskin marriage has never lost its fascination. History books, novels, television series, operas and now a star-filled film by Emma Thompson (to be released in 2013) have all followed this standard line. It seems to offer an easy take on the Victorians and how we have moved on. But the story isn't true. In Marriage of Inconvenience Robert Brownell uses extensive documentary evidence - much of it never seen before, and much of it hitherto suppressed - to reveal a story no less fascinating and human, no less illuminating about the Victorians and far more instructive about our own times, than the myths that have grown up about the most notorious marriage of the 19th century.Trade Review"Robert Brownell weighed in with an enjoyably obsessive re-examination of the marriage of Effie and John Ruskin and the pubic hair question." - Observer Books of the Year 2013"A page turner, even for those familiar with the subject...The surprising truth that emerges is no less human, and no less revealing about the Victorians than the myths; on the contrary it gives a far more compelling insight into what relationships, family and money really mean." - Country Life"It is not Brownell's purpose to deal with the well-known facts but to disinter a scandal and shake the dust off it. With the film Effie Gray due out this year – in which Ruskin is again cast as the bewhiskered prude of legend and his wife as a childlike victim of patriarchal repression – this can only be welcomed." - The Oldie"Ruskin’s marriage was doomed from the start, but not for the reason most people think, argues this well-researched book." - The Times"Robert Brownell wants to give the biographical pendulum a hefty shove in the opposite direction. In 600 closely wrought pages he argues that it was Ruskin, not Gray, who was tricked into a fraudulent marriage. What’s more it was Ruskin and not Gray who manoeuvred the whole miserable business to its sensational close." - Guardian
