This collection brings together some of the most eminent and
exciting authors researching family responsibilities to examine
understandings of the day to day responsibilities which people
undertake within families and the role of the law in the
construction of those understandings. The authors explore a range
of questions fundamental to our understanding of 'responsibility'
in family life: To whom, and to what ends, are family members
responsible? Is responsibility primarily a matter of care? Can we
fulfil our family responsibilities by paying those to whom we owe
responsibility? Or by paying others to fulfil our caring
obligations for us? In each of these circumstances the chapters in
this collection explore what it means to have family
responsibilities, what constitutes an adequate performance of such
responsibilities and the point at which the state intervenes. At
the heart of this collection is an interest in the way in which the
changing family affects people's perception and exercise their
family responsibilities, and how the law attempts to regulate (and
understand) those responsibilities. The essays range across intact
and separated or fragmented families, from lone and shared
parenting in single homes to caring across households (and even
across international boundaries) to reflect on the actual caring
responsibilities of family members and on the fulfilment of
financial responsibilities in families. This collection seeks to
advance our understanding of the attempts of the law, and its
limits, in regulating the responsibilities which family members
take for each other.
