Family law has undergone a revolution over the last quarter of a century. Stepparents, adoptive parents, single parents, grandparents, and gay parents have come forward to challenge the traditional definition of a family based on blood ties alone. Divorce has lost its social stigma, leading to new laws concerning property division and alimony. And increased national attention has been focused on abuse and neglect of children in their homes, raising other important issues of family law. Using a simple question-and-answer format, The Rights of Families is designed to help readers understand family law today.
