Book Description

The practice of family law is complicated at best and antithetical to a "one size fits all" approach. When a family determines to move forward separately--dividing assets, finances, and determining child custody--there is always a high level of stress and oftentimes hostility, making successful case resolutions challenging to reach and mediation difficult to conduct. This is where experience and knowledge in the field is imperative. With a desire to assist those engaged in the practice of family law, both practitioners and judges, Judge Hank Goldberg has written a comprehensive and informative practical resource to address all major components of these cases, and guide professionals to successful outcomes. After six years of research and widespread utilization of these materials within the Los Angeles County family law courts, this book presents findings and conclusions that concisely identify the legal elements of California family law doctrines. Step by step analysis is provided for the resolution of these legal issues. The materials also contain model orders covering all major issues arising in courts on a daily basis and the legal authority for those orders. Of course, there are no jury instructions in family law; and this is probably why no systematic effort has been made to state California family law doctrines in a format similar to jury instructions, concisely yet with precision. Until now. This book can also be used to create discovery plans, plan direct and cross-examination, and to issue or stipulate to orders and judgments. It contains scripts for utilization by judges and attorneys in court and offers practice pointers and tips for litigation and settlement. For any attorney or judge engaged in family law within the State of California, this unique insiders' guide is an outstanding reference tool.

Book Description

Family Law, Sixth Edition is a modern and teachable casebook, offering comprehensive coverage and a mix of interdisciplinary materials. It compares innovative developments in some states with the reaffirmation of traditional principles in others, and does so in the context of a wider focus on family and the state, the role of mediating institutions, and the efficacy of law and particular methods of enforcing the law. The casebook deals with the complexity of family law both in the organization of the chapters—separate units on family contracts, jurisdiction, and practice, for example, can be shortened, skipped, or taught in almost any order—and the diversity of material within each chapter. Each unit combines primary cases with comprehensive notes, supplemented with academic and policy analyses that provide a foundation for evaluation. Detailed problems extend the coverage or apply the commentary to real world examples. Key Features: A streamlined and updated chapter on the legal significance of being married, including an updated section on reproductive rights to reflect the potential influence of Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellersted Major revisions to the chapters on marriage and informal domestic partnerships to reflect the impact of Obergefell v. Hodges A complete update of the parentage cases to incorporate the latest developments on same-sex partners, three parent recognition, third party visitation, adoption, and assisted reproduction Revised sections on the role of settlement agreements and out-of-court processes in divorce and the dissolution of relationships Coverage of cross-disciplinary topics, including financial principles, genetics/statistics, clinical psychology, social history, policy discussions, counseling, negotiation, ADR, and ethics

Book Description

The last few decades have witnessed dramatic changes affecting the institutions of family and parenthood. If, in the past, the classic family was defined sociologically as a pair of heterosexual parents living together under one roof along with their children, different sociological changes have led to a rapid and extreme transformation in the definitions of family, marital relations, parenthood, and the relationship between parents and children. Dr Yehezkel Margalit explores whether and to what extent there is room, legally and ethically, for the use of modern contractual devices and doctrines to privately regulate the establishment of legal parentage. This book offers intentional parenthood as the most appropriate and flexible normative doctrine for resolving the dilemmas which have surfaced in the field of determining legal parentage. By using the certainty of contract law, determining the legal status of parenthood will be seen as the best method to sort out ambiguities and assure both parental and children rights.
