"The Violation of Maintenance Obligation According to Section 170 I StGB. Legitimacy Problems of Criminal Liability in the Context of Accessoriness of Civil Law, Competence of Preliminary Questionings and Problematic Legal Consequences - also a Contribution to the Usability of Tax Data": The study deals with the legal interest that is protected by section 170 I of the Criminal Code and the thereby related legitimacy of a penalty. Furthermore the binding effect of civil court decisions as well as concrete consequences of criminal liability are adressed. In addition, the existing investigative instruments for determining the maintenance debtor's ability to pay are discussed and a possible use of tax data in proceedings according to section 170 I StGB is proposed de lege ferenda. Die Arbeit behandelt grundlegende Fragen der strafbaren Verletzung der Unterhaltspflicht. Sie umfasst das durch § 170 I StGB zu schützende Rechtsgut ebenso wie eine mögliche Bindungswirkung zivilgerichtlicher Entscheidungen sowie die Rechtsfolgen dieser Straftat. Als zur Legitimation des § 170 I StGB hinreichend gewichtiges Rechtsgut wird allein der notwendige Lebensbedarf des Unterhaltsberechtigten erkannt. Anders als Statusentscheidungen entfalten familiengerichtliche Entscheidungen zum Ob und zur Höhe einer Unterhaltspflicht im Strafverfahren keine Bindungswirkung. Ermittlungsbehörden und Strafgerichte müssen die Unterhaltspflicht daher eigenständig feststellen. Um dem nachkommen zu können, benötigen sie über die dargestellten bisherigen Ermittlungsinstrumente, wozu bereits de lege lata der Zugriff auf Sozialdaten gehört, hinaus de lege ferenda Zugriff auf Steuerdaten möglicher Unterhaltspflichtverletzer. Dessen verfassungsrechtliche Legitimierbarkeit wird ausführlich dargelegt.

All across America, angry fathers are demanding rights. These men claim that since the breakdown of their own families, they have been deprived of access to their children. Joining together to form fathers' rights groups, the mostly white, middle-class men meet in small venues to speak their minds about the state of the American family and, more specifically, to talk about the problems they personally face, for which they blame current child support and child custody policies. Dissatisfied with these systems, fathers' rights groups advocate on behalf of legal reforms that will lower their child support payments and help them obtain automatic joint custody of their children. In Defiant Dads, Jocelyn Elise Crowley offers a balanced examination of these groups in order to understand why they object to the current child support and child custody systems; what their political agenda, if enacted, would mean for their members' children or children's mothers; and how well they deal with their members' interpersonal issues concerning their ex-partners and their role as parents. Based on interviews with more than 150 fathers' rights group leaders and members, as well as close observation of group meetings and analysis of their rhetoric and advocacy literature, this important book is the first extensive, in-depth account of the emergence of fathers' rights groups in the United States. A nuanced and timely look at an emerging social movement, Defiant Dads is a revealing investigation into the changing dynamics of both the American family and gender relations in American society.

Un ouvrage de référence en droit familialS’insérant dans une vaste collection destinée à couvrir l’ensemble du panorama du droit familial en Belgique, le présent ouvrage est consacré à la famille.Cette nouvelle édition paraît à un moment particulier, où le droit civil belge passe d’un code bicentenaire à un nouveau Code civil, au travers d’un mouvement encore inachevé de réformes fondamentales.Après avoir analysé la notion de famille et les différents rôles sociaux joués par cette institution, l’auteur montre les mouvements de structuration et de déstructuration qui la traversent au sein du droit belge.Ensuite, les deux modes de création de liens parentaux que sont la filiation et l’adoption sont décrits dans leur complexité, fruit d’une intervention législative incessante et de l’abondante jurisprudence de la Cour constitutionnelle.Le nom, en tant qu’effet du lien familial et élément essentiel de la personnalité, fait l’objet d’un chapitre particulier.L’auteur aborde ensuite l’éducation des enfants, rôle premier de la famille, selon les deux vecteurs que sont l’autorité parentale et l’hébergement d’une part, et la contribution alimentaire d’autre part. L’obligation alimentaire, instrument de la solidarité économique au sein de la famille, fait l’objet d’une présentation générale.Un chapitre est alors consacré à la structure de la dévolution successorale, par laquelle cette solidarité patrimoniale se manifeste au-delà du décès.Enfin, l’auteur montre comment le droit belge protège les personnes majeures vulnérables et les malades mentaux.
