The shared parental leave framework: Failing to fit working-class families
Shared Parental Leave has the potential to tackle a traditional gendered binary of roles within the family, by encouraging more men to care. Such legal provisions can operate to shape behaviour, both in terms of what they permit practically, but also from a normative perspective, conveying ideas around the best way to perform ‘family.’ However, placing particular focus on the latter, we assert that Shared Parental Leave does not speak to working-…
A family affair: The role of intergenerational norm transfer in shaping finances in adult relationships’
This article analyses the rationales of individuals for their financial behaviour in adult relationships, drawing on data from qualitative interviews. In terms of what happens to assets upon relationship breakdown, policy-makers continue to support a distinction between married and cohabiting couples. Assumptions around ‘legal rationality’ centre on a notion that, having chosen to formalise their relationship (or not) based on the legal implicati…
Should We Welcome an End to the 'Blame Game'? Reflecting on Experiences of Civil Partnership Dissolution
Current trends within family law in England and Wales favor the introduction of 'no fault' divorce. However, using empirical data, this article argues that there is still a place for 'fault' and that the law is an appropriate place to express emotion and 'blame'. In the context of civil partnership, where it is impossible to specifically cite an ex-partner’s 'adultery' in the dissolution petition, the data indicate that petitioners have felt frus…
Heteronormativity in Dissolution Proceedings
This chapter explores how heteronormativity, normative ordering of society to correspond with heterosexuality, shapes experiences of dissolution of formally recognized same-sex relationships. We present qualitative data from in-depth interviews with both clients and solicitors with direct experience of civil partnership dissolution. Drawing on insights from legal-consciousness studies, we explore the extent to which legal intervention in relation…
Court of Appeal rules against civil partnerships for different-sex couples … for now
The Civil Partnership Act 2004 provided same-sex couples in the UK with formalised relationship recognition for the first time. Under the Act, section 1(1) requires that civil partners must be, ‘tw
A ‘Divorce Blueprint’? The Use of Heteronormative Strategies in Addressing Economic Inequalities on Civil Partnership Dissolution
This article will explore data obtained through interviews with UK family law practitioners and clients with experience of financial relief on formalised same-sex relationship breakdown. It will focus on questions around how solicitors have approached and argued their dissolution cases (and the extent to which they have drawn upon heteronormative arguments and case law), and whether both they and the clients believed that civil partnerships are, …
Some are more ‘equal’ than others: Heteronormativity in the post-White era of financial remedies
This paper, through conducting an analysis of the decisions of White, Miller/McFarlane and Radmacher, argues that the courts have adopted a somewhat erratic approach as to what amounts to a fair division of assets. However, in consistently presenting heterosexual marriage as entailing the performance of different (and sometimes hierarchical) roles by husbands and wives, the courts have been relying upon stereotypes and bolstering heteronormativit…

Myerson: The impact of the credit crunch on preexisting divorce settlements
With the recession in full swing and a declining global economy, the Court of Appeal in Myerson v. Myerson [2009] EWCA Civ 282 was asked to consider whether significant changes in the value of matrimonial assets, following the onset of the credit crunch, should be seen to be a sufficient reason for setting aside a divorce settlement and dealing afresh with financial matters. In their much-anticipated judgment, the Court made it resoundingly clear…
