What kinds of obligations do parents have towards their children as
family life becomes more complex? Many children pass through a
number of different households,living with one or both parents and
later step parents and step brothers and sisters. How are the new
forms of family life accommodated in the legal system? The answer
is that parenthood, rather than marriage, is now emerging as the
central mechanism through which moral principles are converted into
legal and social obligations. This study of 250 children who do not
live with both of their parents shows, however, that despite the
comparative legal emptiness of marriage, the experience of living
longer with both parents than is usually the case of children of
cohabiting or single parents endows the child with social capital
in the form of enduring involvement with the outside parent, even
after divorce, and that this happens to a greater extent than for
children whose parents were not married.
