Title
Living apart together: Legal protections for a new form of family.
Abstract
The two surveys found that 9% of the national survey respondents and 12% of the New York survey respondents reported that they were in a committed intimate relationship with a person with whom they did not live. The centerpiece of the book, and critical contribution, is Bowman's own empirical investigation of LATs in the United States. Moreover, Bowman's focus on long-term LATs, some of whom have lived apart together for decades, leads her to neglect the ways that many LAT relationships are in flux.
