Political observers have long since struggled with understanding how new ideas are placed on the public agenda. In their studies, most social scientists have relied on biographical sketches and intensive case studies to explore the intricacies of innovation. Researchers have had much more difficulty, however, in moving from these individual success stories to more generalizable theories of entrepreneurship. This book builds such a theory by focusing on the critical issue of child support enforcement in the United States. Covering over a 100 year period, this book tracks the evolution of multiple sets of political entrepreneurs as they grapple with the child support problem: charity workers with local law enforcement in the nineteenth century, social workers throughout the 1960s, conservatives during the 1970s, women's groups and women legislators in the 1980s, and fathers' rights groups in the 1990s and beyond.

This book grew out of a major European Union (EU) funded project on the Hague Maintenance Convention of 2007 and on the EU Maintenance Regulation of 2009. The project involved carrying out analytical research on the implementation into national law of the EU Regulation and empirical research on the first year of its operation in practice. The project also engaged international experts in a major conference on recovery of maintenance in the EU and worldwide in Heidelberg in March 2013. The contributions in this book are the revised, refereed and edited versions of the best papers that were given at the conference. The book is divided into four parts: (i) comparative context (ii) international, looking at national and non-European regional practice and how the Hague Convention could change things; (iii) international and the EU, looking at issues covered by both the Hague Convention and the EU Regulation; and (iv) the EU - looking at the Maintenance Regulation. This is the first study to look carefully at both of the new cross-border maintenance regimes globally and in Europe and to begin the examination of the practical operation of the latter regime. The approval of the Hague Convention by the EU on 9 April 2014 is a major step forward for its practical significance in enabling the recovery of child and spousal support, as from 1 August 2014 all of the 28 EU Member States apart from Denmark will be bound by the Convention

The contributors are all recognized authorities on aspects of family law and provide commentary on the principles examined by the ALI - fault, custody, child support, property division, spousal support and domestic partnerships, utilizing a wide range of analytical tools, including economic theory, constitutional law, social science data and linguistic analysis. This volume also includes the perspectives of US judges and legislators and leading family law scholars in the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada and Australia.

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.
