Fifty Years of the Divorce Reform Act 1969 de Joanna Miles

Fifty Years of the Divorce Reform Act 1969

Editat de Joanna Miles, Daniel Monk, Professor Rebecca Probert
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 iun 2023
The enactment of the Divorce Reform Act 1969 was a landmark moment in family law. 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.
