What are the orzgms of the current chaos and controversy in the field, the home of some of the most vituperative debates in public policy? To answer these questions, this Article identifies and examines family law's foundational principles. It undertakes a conceptual analysis ofthe legal practices that govern families. This analysis has yet to be done, and its absence hamstrings constructive thought on our family law. The Article develops a typology that conceptualizes US. family law and exposes its underlying principles. First, it identifies the significant elements, or rules, of family law. Second, it demonstrates that these rules reflect or embody four important concepts­ conjugality, privacy (familial as well as individual), contract, and parens patriae. Third, it shows that the concepts offamily law in turn embody two distinct underlying principles-Biblical traditionalism and liberal individualism. From these powerful principles, we can derive modern U.S. family law: They explain what our family law is. With this deepened understanding offamily law's structure, the Article next evaluates these principles, and family law as the expression ofthem.

  • Civil Partnership in Scotland 2004 – 2014, and Beyond
    1 Civil Partnership in Scotland 2004 – 2014, and Beyond Kenneth McK. Norrie, Professor of Law, University of Strathclyde Introduction Exactly ten years separates the passing by the UK Parliament of the Civil Partnership Act 2004, which brought civil partnership to Scotland, and the passing by the Scottish Parliament of the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014, which opened marriage to same-sex couples in Scotland; exactly fifteen years separates the (re)establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999 and the Independence Referendum in 2014. The political judgment made in 1999 that devolution would kill the aspiration to independence stone dead has proved as misconceived as the political judgment in 2004 that civil partnership would satisfy any demand for same-sex marriage. The new political structures within the United Kingdom established by devolution rendered it inevitable that the development of civil partnership would play out very differently in Scotland and in England, but the existence of two distinct legal systems, on separate developmental paths, long pre- dates devolution. Scottish family law has always been based on very different perceptions of family life from English family law and these differences reflect profound historical, social and (particularly) religious dissimilarities between the two nations. We in Scotland have no concept, for example, of parental consent to marriage, revealing a different view of both the nature of the parent-child relationship and of marriage (and avoiding the difficulties English law will face when parents refuse consent due to non-acceptance of their child’s sexual orientation). That marriage is a more secular contractual relationship in Scotland than it is in England is shown by the facts (i) that marriage contracts have always been enforceable in Scotland but are (generally speaking) unenforceable in England (Scherpe, 2012), and (ii) that divorce has been available in Scotland for three hundred years longer than in England.

The Relationship Between Correlates of Children's Adjustment and Both Family Law and Policy in England Liz Trinder* Michael E. Lamb** Over the last two decades, an impressive, albeit incomplete, body of evidence has been built identifying the factors associated with children's adjustment following parental separation. At the same time, English family law and policy have changed and developed considerably for a variety of reasons. In this paper, we explore the linkages between these two developments. We consider, first, the body of evidence documenting the factors associated with adjustment and maladjustment on the part of children whose parents have separated or divorced, and second, the extent to which changing laws and policies in the United Kingdom have been guided by this literature and have helped achieve the desired outcomes for children.
