Law and Children

Andrew Schepard, a professor of law and director of the Center for Children, Families and the Law at Hofstra University School of Law, writes that for most of the United States and the rest of the democratic world, the message no fault divorce conveys is that divorce is a tragic but inevitable consequence of the evolution of some adult relationships.
