- Title
Family Law and the Indissolubility of Parenthood.
- Authors
Parkinson, Patrick
- Abstract
The article examines family law concerning parenting requirements after separation in the West. The author explains that the conflict related to postseparation parenting arise due to the demand of nonresident fathers to have a greater level of involvement with their children. As a response to this change, the British government has enacted the Children Act of 1989 which stipulates that each parent has parental responsibility and retains that responsibility following separation. In effect, the language of custody, guardianship and access was abolished.
