The divorce rate has been rising throughout the 20th century, with
a significant increase in the last 20 years, so that now some 45
per cent of marriages currently end in divorce. How and why has
this happened? How has the law and the State changed to accommodate
and facilitate this? What changes in society's attitudes have
affected family breakdowns? To answer these questions Gibson takes
a multi-disciplinary approach to examine the history, demography,
sociology, politics and policy of divorce. In this study, the
author traces the interaction between social change, marriage
patterns, family law and parliamentary legislation from the 18th
century to the present. He then looks at family patterns and policy
choices; examines such matters as the welfare and financial support
of children and their carers in the light of the new Child Support
Act; and reviews the two-tier court system for handling the
casualties of broken marriages.
