The right to divorce is a symbol of individual liberty and gender
equality under the law, but in practice it is anything but
equitable. Family Law in Action reveals the persistent class and
gender inequalities embedded in the process of separation and its
aftermath in Quebec and France. Drawing on empirical research
conducted on their respective court and welfare systems, Emilie
Biland analyzes how men and women in both places encounter the law
and its representatives in ways that affect their personal and
professional lives. This rigorous but compassionate study
encourages governments to make good on the emancipatory promise
enshrined in divorce law.
