Marriage Registeration
Statutes, court decisions, and provisions of the federal
and state constitutions that relate to family relationships,
rights, duties, and finances. The law relating to
family disputes and obligations has grown dramatically
since the 1970s, as legislators and judges have reexamined
and redefined legal relationships surrounding divorce,
child custody, and child support. Family law has become
entwined with national debates over the structure
of the family, gender bias, and morality. Despite
many changes made by state and federal legislators,
family law remains a contentious area of U.S. law,
generating strong emotions from those who have had
to enter the legal process.
Divorce
Beginning in the 1960s, advocates of divorce reform
called for the legal recognition of no-fault divorce.
Under this concept, a divorce may be granted on grounds
such as incompatibility, irreconcilable differences,
or an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage relationship.
The court examines the condition of the marriage rather
than the question of whether either party is at fault.
This type of proceeding eliminates the need for one
party to accuse the other of a traditional ground
for divorce, such as adultery, cruelty, alcoholism,
or drug addiction. By 1987, all fifty states had adopted
no-fault divorce, exclusively or as an option to traditional
fault-grounded divorce. No-fault divorce has become
a quick and inexpensive means of ending a marriage,
especially when a couple has no children and moderate
property assets. In fact, the ability to end a marriage
using no-fault procedures has led to criticism that
divorce has become too easy to obtain, allowing couples
to abandon a marriage at the first sign of marital
discord.
Domestic
Violence
Societies have made important gains in addressing
the problem of domestic violence, particularly in
the area of service delivery to its victims. However,
millions of women are battered by their intimate partners
every year in countries around the globe.
Adoption
The ancient practice of adoption was a way of ensuring
male heirs to childless couples in order to preserve
family lines and religious traditions. In the 1850s
the Children's Aid Society of New York City began
to move dependent children out of city institutions.
Between 1854 and 1904 orphan trains carried an estimated
100,000 children to families on farms in the Midwest;
these children were to provide farm work in exchange
for care.
