We have seen a lot in the past year. We have seen courts in two different states proscribe procreation (for not paying child support and other reasons). We have seen more celebrity divorce and family law in the news (think Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries, Kanye West, Deion Sanders and Kobe Bryant).

Perhaps the biggest and most significant thing we will see in 2013 is when the U.S. Supreme Court takes up the issue of gay marriage.
