The Law and Economics of Marriage and Divorce
Author: Antony W. DnesPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521006323
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
What sort of contract is marriage? What does it offer the parties? What are the difficulties of enforcement, and the result of failed effective enforcement? This book takes an economic approach to marriage and divorce, considering the key role of incentives in family law: it highlights the possible adverse consequences emanating from faulty legal design, while demonstrating that good family law should provide incentives for consistent and honest behavior. Economists, specialists in the economic analysis of law, and academic lawyers discuss recent advances in specialist work on marriage, cohabitation, and divorce. Chapters are grouped around four topics: the contractual perspectives on marriage commitment; the regulatory framework surrounding divorce; bargaining and commitment issues relating to marriage and near-marriage arrangements; and finally empirical work, which focuses on the impact of more liberal divorce laws. This important new study will be of considerable interest to lawyers, policy-makers and economists concerned with family law.

The third edition of Marriage and Divorce Law in South Carolina: A Layperson's Guide provides in concise language a detailed and authoritative resource on current laws governing everything from marriage eligibility to the divorce process.

He addresses the responsibility of a married couple to their children in the eyes of the law, including the children's care, education, and welfare. On matters of divorce, the volume not only reviews practical issues of separation, property division, alimony, and child support but covers the psychological stages of divorce as well. Much of the legal mystery about the divorce process is also unraveled, including how to find, hire, and work with a divorce lawyer and how to maneuver successfully through family court. A section on related issues that frequently arise when a marriage ends is also included. Marriage and Divorce Law in South Carolina serves as a valuable resource for learning about the legal processes involved in the state's family laws and is the only such volume available to nonlawyers.
Marriage and Divorce in a Multi-Cultural Context
Author: Joel A. NicholsPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139503979
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
American family law makes two key assumptions: first, that the civil state possesses sole authority over marriage and divorce; and second, that the civil law may contain only one regulatory regime for such matters. These assumptions run counter to the multicultural and religiously plural nature of our society. This book elaborates how those assumptions are descriptively incorrect, and it begins an important conversation about whether more pluralism in family law is normatively desirable. For example, may couples rely upon religious tribunals (Jewish, Muslim, or otherwise) to decide family law disputes? May couples opt into stricter divorce rules, either through premarital contracts or 'covenant marriages'? How should the state respond? Intentionally interdisciplinary and international in scope, this volume contains contributions from fourteen leading scholars. The authors address the provocative question of whether the state must consider sharing its jurisdictional authority with other groups in family law.
