What is The Family of Law?: The Influence of the Nuclear Family by Dr Alan Brown

Description: What is The Family of Law? by Dr Alan Brown Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Based on authors thesis (doctoral - University of Strathclyde, 2016). Publisher Description This book argues that the legal understanding of family in the UK continues to be underpinned by the idealised image of the nuclear family, premised upon the traditional, gendered roles of father as breadwinner and mother as homemaker. This examination of the laws model of the family has been prompted by the substantial reforms that have taken place in family law in recent decades, and the significant evolution in social attitudes and familial practices that has occurred in parallel.Throughout the book, the influence of the nuclear family is noted in several different contexts: various specific legal definitions of family, the legal regulation of adult, conjugal relationships, the attribution of legal parenthood and the construction of the role of the parent within the law. Ultimately, this book argues that while these reforms have resulted in additional categories of relationship coming to be situated within the nuclear family model, there has not, as yet, been any fundamental alteration of the underpinning concept of the nuclear family itself.This book concludes by considering the possibilities offered beyond the nuclear family; exploring the reconceptualising of the legal understanding of family around alternative and potentially radical models of family.
