Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.?

This Elgar Advanced Introduction provides key insights into family law in the US. In the midst of consequential changes wrought by the US Supreme Court, this book traces the evolution of the field from its origins in the law of domestic relations to the more modern regime of family law.



Key features include:





Integrates state law, federal law, legal scholarship, and literature from other disciplines.
Identifies the regulation of sex and the policy of keeping dependency private as family law's principal enduring features.
Surveys different topics in family law including: marriage, nonmarriage, and dissolution; pregnancy; parentage; and children.
Reviews the impact of the US Supreme Court's Dobbs decision on all of family law in the US and looks ahead to the future of family law.
