Fifty Years of the Divorce Reform Act 1969
The enactment of the Divorce Reform Act 1969 was a landmark moment in family law. Coming into force in 1971, it had a significant impact on legal practice and was followed by a dramatic increase in divorce rates, reflecting changes in social attitudes. This new interdisciplinary collection explores the background to the 1969 Act and its influence on law and society. Bringing together scholars from law, sociology, history, demography, and film and literature, it reflects on the changes to divorce law and practice over the past 50 years, and the changing impact of divorce on different people in society, particularly women. As such, it offers a 'biography' of this important piece of legislation, moving from its conception and birth, through its reception and development, to its imminent demise. Looking to the future, and to the new law introduced by the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, this collection suggests ways for evaluating what makes a 'good' divorce law. This brilliant collection gives insight not only into this crucial piece of legislation, but also into a key period of societal change.
Dissonant State
Full of suspense, adventure, and heart, this hopeful space opera is sure to delight fans of Malka Older, Becky Chambers, and Martha Wells. Kay Wilder despises Ravel Corporation, whose occupation of her home planet left Kay with a useful but debilitating power to hear others’ emotions. Unlike her brother Jasper, an activist who fights corporate injustice, Kay stays as far away from Ravel as possible. Until now. Because Ravel has kidnapped her brother, and to help him, Kay will have to go undercover working for the enemy. Forced to lie about what Ravel did to her home, Kay finds her new job harder and lonelier than she could have imagined, until she discovers an ally who hates working for Ra...
Sharing Lives, Dividing Assets
With many couples separating each year, the question of how to determine the financial and property consequences of such separation has always been a problem area within family law. Should the principles be the same for married and cohabiting couples? Should the division of assets reflect the parties' own expectations or norms imposed by society? These are just two of the questions which the essays in this collection seek to explore. Recent cases in the House of Lords have seen willingness on the part of the judges to seek out empirical studies to inform their deliberations, but if the law is to engage with empirical data then much more information is needed, both about the arrangements peop...
Marriage Rites and Rights
Recent years have seen extensive discussion about the continuing retreat from marriage, the increasing demand for the right to marry from previously excluded groups, and the need to protect those who do not wish to marry from being forced to do so. At the same time, weddings are big business, couples are spending more than ever before on getting married, and marriage ceremonies are increasingly elaborate. It is therefore timely to reflect on the rites of marriage, as well as the right to marry (or not to marry), and the relationship between them. To this end, this new interdisciplinary collection brings together scholars from numerous fields, including law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, demography, theology and art and design. Focusing on England and Wales, it explores in depth the specific issues arising from this jurisdiction's Anglican heritage, demographic development, current laws and social practices.

Ravenous State
Their families call them the Gifted. They call themselves the Losts. And to everyone outside Brennex, they were ordinary people—until now. Libbi Wilder is the good kid. While her older siblings have traveled the galaxy having adventures, she’s stayed home to run the family store. Someone has to, after all. Then a stranger shows up at the store, and people Libbi’s age—the Losts—start going missing. Libbi and her best friend Mixin set out to investigate, but before they find answers, Libbi’s brother and sister swoop in to save the day without being asked, reigniting old resentments. Libbi knows she’ll always be the baby of the family, but if she can solve the disappearances, mayb...
Warped State
Star Trek meets Leverage in a space opera that’s “refreshingly hopeful and heaps of fun” (author Megan E. O’Keefe). Jasper Wilder is an activist, not a spy, but he’ll become one if that’s what it takes to stop Ravel Corporation from reviving the research project that devastated his home planet. His plan is simple enough: Break into the secure facility. Steal the research data. Find a weakness and sabotage the project. But all that goes out the airlock when he meets Havoc, a passionate but politically naive labor organizer trying to reform Ravel from within. Havoc could help Jasper, but instead, he’s fighting for a lost cause. Jasper knows that if he sticks with his own plan, Ha...
Miles and Jo
Gelbard's autobiographical account of her affair with the legendary jazz musician.
The Present and Future of European Family Law
The Present and Future of European Family Law explores the essence of European family law – and what its future may be. It compares and analyses existing laws and court decisions, identifies trends in legislation and jurisprudence, and also forecasts (and in some cases proposes) future developments. It establishes that while there is, at present, no comprehensive European family law, elements of an ‘institutional European family law’ have been created through decisions by the European Court on Human Rights and by the Court of Justice of the European Union as well as other EU instruments. At the same time an ‘organic European family law’ is beginning to emerge. The laws in many Euro...
