An examination of the development of family law in the United States and England in the last half of the twentieth century showed that the form of family law of the 1950s was closer to the 1890s than to that of the 1990s. This change mirrored the demographic revolution of the late twentieth century. This article argues that it may also have begun to bring to a close an approach taken by legal institutions to family relationships dubbed welfarism , which stretched from the early nineteenth century and reached its climax in the 1960s and 1970s, but the extent and nature of the transformation remain unresolved
