Michael D: WOMEN & INHERITANCE

WOMEN & INHERITANCE

A Journey Through Rights, Culture, and Change

A cradle to grave approach in pursuing claims under Part III MFPA 1984, including advice on how to commence, proceed and conclude claims, as well as presenting the legal framework and practical structure. These claims have a propensity to be sprawling and in light of more recent decisions, most notably in Potanin v Potanina [2024] UKSC 3 and TY v XA [2024] EWFC 96, prone to consistent change. This single comprehensive text addresses all the elements of such a claim.Not only do the authors summarise the legal framework, but they also assist practitioners with all the various pitfalls and dangers which can arise, such as the approach to permission hearings and dealing with foreign assets. Unlike any other text, this practical manual assists practitioners with answering the key questions:- What is the legal framework for claims under Part III MFPA 1984? - How do I prepare and litigate these types of claims? - What do I need to be careful about when making these claims?This indispensable guide sets out the key basics for those unfamiliar with these claims, as well as assisting experienced practitioners with more difficult or complex points. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Family Law online service.

A Practical Guide to Part III MFPA 1984 Claims

Financial Relief After Foreign Divorce

Family Lawyer as Peacemaker is a groundbreaking work by Forrest S. Mosten and Lara Traum that redefines the role of the family lawyer as a healer, guide, and changemaker. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, deep reflection, and a commitment to justice with a human face, Mosten and Traum offer a visionary blueprint for practicing law through empathy, collaboration, and sustainable conflict resolution.This comprehensive volume explores the principles, practices, and mindsets that transform family law into a peacemaking profession. From reshaping legal practice around healing and collaboration to cultivating self-awareness and emotional intelligence, the authors guide readers through the practical and philosophical foundations of peaceful lawyering. Whether navigating mediation, collaborative practice, prenuptial agreements, or long-term client relationships, the book provides concrete tools and frameworks to help professionals lead with presence and purpose.Throughout, the authors are joined by select contributors - esteemed practitioners, interdisciplinary leaders, and a respected peacemaking judge - who share stories from the field and perspectives on systemic reform. These contributions complement Mosten and Traum's central message: that lawyers can be agents of healing in families and communities.Rich with actionable strategies, real-life case examples, and visionary insight, Family Lawyer as Peacemaker is both a practical manual and a call to action. For family lawyers, mediators, and students seeking to serve with integrity, compassion, and courage, this book offers a path forward: one where peace is not a side effect, but the central mission of legal practice.

Family Lawyer as Peacemaker

"This manual is not intended to be an educational piece on substantive law and procedure. Such education falls in the realm of formal paralegal training and the training in individual law offices in the states. This manual is a "how to" on helping your lawyer navigate the administration of effective case and client management, document assembly, hearing, deposition, and trial preparation. Each chapter contains brief and to-the-point discussions of each area, usually with one or more forms or checklists to make things easy"--

The Divorce Paralegal Handbook

"This book examines how the law influences our most personal and private choices-who we desire and choose as intimate partners-and explores the psychological, economic, and social effects of these choices. It proposes ways to minimize law's influence over who we desire, love, and bring into our families, including changes to dating platforms, as well as housing, education, and transportation policies"--

How the Law Shapes Interracial Intimacy and Perpetuates Inequality

The Architecture of Desire

Be prepared to knowledgeably represent current and former federal employees by understanding the major features of the largest federal government pension systems and how to divide them in divorce. Now this essential information is available in a single volume that explains the complexities and nuances of the benefits at stake: retirement, health insurance, and life insurance.

An in-depth look at the many issues raised in a divorce involved when representing a federal employee (current, former, or retired) or spouse, this is an invaluable, single-source brings together a wealth of information and practice insights from disparate sources that author Jessica Markham has gathered over two decades in practice.
Complex and detailed information is presented in a manner that is accessible and understandable. Each chapter begins by explaining the basic aspects of the topic followed by more detailed information and citations for further research. In addition to a wealth of useful practice tips, the book includes checklists, glossary terms, and definitions for easy reference, as well as sample documents and forms also available in downloadable format online. This one-of-a-kind handbook thoroughly explains the major facets of the largest federal government pension systems: 
<ul>
<li>Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS)</li>
<li>Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)</li>
<li>Foreign Service Retirement and Disability System (FSRDS)</li>
<li>Foreign Service Retirement System (FSRS)</li>
<li>Federal government’s defined contribution plans, including the Thrift Savings Plan</li></ul>These primary benefit plans are explained at three distinct points when a federal employee may be involved in a divorce: during active employment, after separation from service but before retirement, and after retirement. The book also addresses issues related to death benefits, including pension survivor annuities, beneficiary designations, life insurance, and insurable interests, as well as other concerns when dividing pensions, such as maintaining health insurance after divorce and the effect of remarriage. This comprehensive guide also covers lesser-known protections and benefits offered to federal employees, retirees, and their spouses, such as leave, disability, long-term care insurance, and resources for victims of domestic violence, and briefly reviews litigation considerations such as determining income, garnishment, and obtaining documents from a federal agency. Representing the Federal Employee in Divorce is a valuable resource for newer practitioners to learn the basics, while more seasoned family lawyers will find it a useful resource to keep on their bookshelf for quick access to the specific information needed in a particular case.

Fiance and Marriage Visas

Independently published

Feldman v. Schocket (2022)

University of California Press

Introduces an expansive vision of the family and a brilliant legal arrangement that will protect the lives of millions of adults. Today, about half of all adults are unmarried. Many of those are in significant relationships--some intimate, others based in friendship, finances, or family ties--but the law offers them few protections. Amid the growing recognition that modern families take all shapes, More Than Marriage presents a refreshing vision for the future. With this book, noted family-law expert John G. Culhane takes us on a guided tour of how the march toward marriage equality spun off a number of other legal statuses, and explores how the law has expanded and where it falls short. This lively living history is grounded in relatable, in-depth interviews that give voice to the millions of Americans building family structures outside the protections of marriage--whether by choice, necessity, or exclusion. Culhane proposes an updated legal status that offers flexible and portable benefits for a diverse range of commitments and needs. As More Than Marriage shows, this "choose your own adventure" structure more accurately reflects, and more equitably protects, the many kinds of families we choose to build.

A Concise Treatise on the Law of Marriage Settlements With an Appendix of Statutes

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.
