Download or read book Silent Revolution written by Herbert Jacob and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1988-07-27 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflict and controversy usually accompany major social changes in America. Such issues as civil rights, abortion, and the proposed Equal Rights Amendment provoke strong and divisive reactions, attract extensive media coverage, and generate heated legislative debate. Some theorists even claim that only mobilization and publicity can stimulate significant legislative change. How is it possible, then, that a wholesale revamping of American divorce law occurred with scarcely a whisper of controversy and without any national debate? This is the central question posed—and authoritatively answered—in Herbert Jacob's Silent Revolution. Since 1966, divorce laws in the United States have undergone a radical transformation. No-fault divorce is now universally available. Alimony functions simply as a brief transitional payment to help a dependent spouse become independent. Most states divide assets at divorce according to a community property scheme, and, whenever possible, many courts prefer to award custody of children to the mother and the father jointly. These changes in policy represent a profound departure from traditional American values, and yet the legislation by which they were enacted was treated as a technical correction of minor problems. No-fault divorce, for example, was a response to the increasing number of fraudulent divorce petitions. Since couples were often forced to manufacture the evidence of guilt that many states required, and since judges frequently looked the other way, legal reformers sought no more than to bring divorce statutes into line with current practice. On the basis of such observations, Jacob formulates a new theory of routine—as opposed to conflictual—policy-making processes. Many potentially controversial policies—divorce law reforms among them—pass unnoticed in America because legislators treat them as matters of routine. Jacob's is indeed the most plausible account of the enormous number and steady flow of policy decisions made by state legislatures. It also explains why no attention was paid to the effect divorce reform would have on divorced women and their children, a subject that has become increasingly controversial and that, consequently, is not likely to be handled by the routine policy-making process in the future.

Download or read book The Complete Guide to Divorce Law written by Nihara K. Choudhri and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divorce in the United States is becoming more prevalent than ever. More than 2.3 million Americans divorce each year, and halt of all marriages and 60% of all remarriages end in divorce. And the costs of ending a marriage--(both financial and emotional--(are staggering; the most conservative estimated cost of divorce is $15,000 and average legal fees range from $20,000 to $30,000. And with most lawyers fees reaching $300 or more an hour, there is a widespread need for accessible, inexpensive, and trustworthy information on all aspects of divorce. "The Complete Guide to Divorce Law provides readers who have no legal background with a detailed explanation of divorce law in each of the 50 states, which will help to minimize these legal fees and some of the emotional trauma that accompanies a divorce. For a fraction of the cost of an hour with their divorce lawyer, legal expert Nikara Choudri provides an easy to understand explanation of legal rules governing alimony, child support, child custody, and visitation. Now everyone going through a divorce will learn the requirements for filing for divorce, how divorce courts divide property, the qualifications for alimony, and how much child support will be required in a specific case. From the basic subjects, like determining the grounds for divorce, to complex topics like pensions, stock options, and professional licenses and degrees, Choudri offers sound, step-by-step advice that will help those contemplating the dissolution of a marriage to negotiate a settlement directly with a spouse as well as helping them to determine whether they can reach an out of-court settlement. With chapters on such topics ranging from transmutation to drafting anout-of-court agreement, this is an invaluable guide that will help everyone make informed rational decisions while coping with the difficult issues that can arise in a heated divorce.

Download or read book The Divorce Revolution written by Lenore J. Weitzman and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based upon interviews with judges, lawyers, and divorced persons in California, and data collected from that state#x19;s court dockets, this volume presents the first systematic examination of the social and economic effects of divorce law reform. Sociologist Weitzman concludes that while the abolition of grounds, fault, and consent has eliminated much of the acrimony previously associated with divorce proceedings, this, together with the institution of gender-neutral standards for property awards and child support, has resulted in increased economic hardship and social dislocation for divorced women and dependent children. Weitzman does not intend to extrapolate her data, conclusions, and recommendations to the whole country; however, it is reasonable to believe that they have national implications.

The United States Of America. The United States as such, that is, in its Federal capacity, has no single system of marriage and divorce laws applicable to all the States and Territories. The purpose of the Constitution of the United States is to maintain by its federal structure a strong national government, while recognizing each of the States which make up the federation to be so far as is consistent with the motive of the Union, sovereign commonwealth. When one considers this wonderful federation of States and Territories, with nearly half a hundred separate governments each making and interpreting its domestic laws, and yet all parts of, and working in harmony with, the central or Federal Government, the justice of Gladstone's tribute to the American Constitution as "the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man" is apparent. The laws of marriage and divorce in the various States and Territories cannot therefore be ascertained from a single legislative or judicial source. The law of the several jurisdictions consists not only of legislative enactments, but of judicial construction and interpretation of such legislation. Fortunately the tendency is toward uniformity of legislation among the States, especially on the important subject of marriage and divorce, and such differences as exist are pointed out substantially in this chapter when each State or Territory is considered separately. The Congress, or national legislature, has power to legislate only upon such subjects as the Federal Constitution marks out for it, and all powers not granted to the Federal government remain with the several States. The regulation of marriage and divorce is one of the most important domestic...
