In this highly original work, renowned family and contract law
expert Brian H. Bix explores the increasing legal recognition of
private ordering in American family law. Today, individuals can
alter the terms of a marriage and divorce through agreements, and
courts sometimes allow individuals to create, waive, and alter
parental rights by way of surrogacy, open adoption, and
co-parenting agreements, among other mechanisms. But when is such
private ordering beneficial to all, and when should it be regulated
or prohibited? Families by Agreement explores these questions in
accessible detail to provide an important resource for those who
litigate in these areas and for those who want to be thoughtful
participants in these moral and policy debates.
