What are some of the changes in American society over the past fifty years that have affected substantive family law?
What will be an ideal response?
The answer can concentrate on the increase in the divorce rate that began in the 1960s, with increased economic power for women, and the change in custody presumptions to “the best interest of the child” standard. Mention can be made of changes such as the availability of health insurance through employment and COBRA, an increase in cohabitation, the use of antenuptial agreements, the increased earning power of women, and changes in the way property is classified (marital v. separate) and distributed. Nonmarital children are not as stigmatized as they have been, reasonable child support is easier to obtain, and there are support enforcement mechanisms in place. [4/8]
