Law and Families
This co-edited volume highlights important classic and contemporary works by law and society scholars who analyze the complex and often highly political relationship between law and families. Featuring authors from Australia, Canada, England and the United States, the volume looks at how socio-legal scholars think about families and the law, how law shapes family practices, the capacity of family law to deliver social justice and how family dispu…
Using professional practice experience to guide family law reform
This article explores the possibility of using professional practice experience as a basis for family law reform. It draws on a recent Australian study which is seeking to use an understanding of everyday practice in the family law system to generate a coherent child focused decision-making framework for children's care arrangements that can be used by all professionals within the system. The study, the Children's Needs project, responded to prac…
Mandatory mediation of family disputes
In recent years the UK government has increasingly promoted the use of mediation in family law matters, particularly in cases involving children, and there has been continuing debate about whether such processes should be mandatory. Australian policy-makers took this step in 2006, enacting reforms which require parents in conflict to make a ‘genuine effort’ to resolve their dispute through a ‘family dispute resolution’ process before being eligib…
The Dangers of Shared Care Legislation
Research indicates that while Australia's 'Shared Parental Responsibility Act' has increased shared care outcomes, it often impacts children's psychological wellbeing. Arguments in favor of further reform of the shared care legislation are examined together with the limitations of the suggested reforms in addressing the risks of the existing law
Equality, Needs, and Bad Behaviour
Australia’s matrimonial property division jurisprudence has tended to focus on cases involving large asset pools and successful business enterprises. This contribution draws on an empirical study of unreported Family Court judgments to explore the patterns of reasoning in the more general population of defended matrimonial property disputes. The data from this study revealed that case law principles which exhort judges to assess and compare the v…
Reforming Custody Laws
This article looks at the outcomes of recent custody law reform inquiries in Canada and Australia, and examines the ways in which the reform processes in each country dealt with the claims of the various stakeholders and the emerging empirical research on post-separation parenting. Although the outcomes of the two processes were significantly different - one espousing a belief that 'no one size fits all families', the other promoting different ap…
The 'No Contact Mother
This article examines the production of new narratives of ‘selfish motherhood’ in family law, in the context of disputes about parent‐child contact after separation. In the first section, I draw on my empirical research of contact enforcement litigation to tease out the contradictions and gaps between the dominant, or ‘stock’, stories of contact disputes, and some ‘counter’ stories that have emerged from the study. The second part of the article …
