Coming into force in 1971, it had a significant impact on legal practice and was followed by a dramatic increase in divorce rates, reflecting changes in social attitudes. This new interdisciplinary collection explores the background to the 1969 Act and its influence on law and society. Bringing together scholars from law, sociology, history, demography, and film and literature, it reflects on the changes to divorce law and practice over the past 50 years, and the changing impact of divorce on different people in society, particularly women. As such, it offers a 'biography' of this important piece of legislation, moving from its conception and birth, through its reception and development, to its imminent demise. Looking to the future, and to the new law introduced by the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, this collection suggests ways for evaluating what makes a 'good' divorce law. This brilliant collection gives insight not only into this crucial piece of legislation, but also into a key period of societal change"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $t Divorce Reform Act 1969. 650 0 $a Divorce $x History. $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Law reform $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Domestic relations $z Great Britain. 650 7 $a Divorce $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895818 650 7 $a Domestic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896646 650 7 $a Law reform. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994081 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Miles, Joanna, $e editor. 700 1 $a Monk, Daniel, $e editor. 700 1 $a Probert, Rebecca, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Fifty years of the divorce reform act 1969 $d Oxford, UK ; New York, NY : Hart Publishing, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing, 2022 $z 9781509947898 $w (DLC) 2021052581 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020021027.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E025200DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
