Course Description
|
This course is a study of the state regulation of intimate relationships. We will investigate what does and does not qualify as a “family” under the law and the legal and social consequences of that designation. As we examine the laws regarding marriage, the dissolution of marriage, marital property rights, and the care and guardianship of children, we will consider how they have been informed by expectations regarding gender, race, and class. We will look closely at the ordering of rights and responsibilities in marital and parental relationships, as well as how and when they can be altered or terminated. This course will emphasize the constitutional dimensions of privacy and how the right to privacy is alternately respected and ignored in varying family law scenarios.
