J. Herbie DiFonzo and Ruth C. Stern chart these trends over the past several decades and investigate their social, legal, and economic implications. Drawing upon a wealth of social science data, they show that, by a number of measures, children of married parents fare better than children in a household formed by cohabiting adults. This is not to condemn nontraditional families, but to point out that society and the law do not yet adequately provide for their needs. The authors applaud the ways in which courts and legislatures are beginning to replace rigid concepts of marriage and parenthood with the more flexible concept of "functional" family roles. In the conclusion, they call for a legal system that can adapt to the continually changing reality of family life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a American marriages yesterday -- How marriage became optional : cohabitation, gay marriage, and the continuing role of gender -- Luxury goods : the well-being of families -- The children of Baby M : alternative reproductive technologies and the remaking of contemporary families -- Parenthood in the 21st century : the evolving functional norms -- Unsafe havens, unplanned children, and future generations -- The uses of the law for contemporary families -- Conclusion : echoes in a canyon. 650 0 $a Domestic relations $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008117530 650 0 $a Human reproductive technology $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Family policy $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103536 650 7 $a LAW / Family Law / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / Marriage & Family. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Domestic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896646 650 7 $a Family policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920433 650 7 $a Human reproductive technology $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963266 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Stern, Ruth C., $d 1953- $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2013036300 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213021230.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=976183BCF11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
