Feminist and Queer Legal Theory: Intimate Encounters, Uncomfortable
Conversations is a groundbreaking collection that brings together
leading scholars in contemporary legal theory. The volume explores,
at times contentiously, convergences and departures among a variety
of feminist and queer political projects. These explorations -
foregrounded by legal issues such as marriage equality, sexual
harassment, workers' rights, and privacy - re-draw and re-imagine
the alliances and antagonisms constituting feminist and queer
theory. The essays cross a spectrum of disciplinary matrixes,
including jurisprudence, political philosophy, literary theory,
critical race theory, women's studies, and gay and lesbian studies.
The authors occupy a variety of political positions vis-A -vis
questions of identity, rights, the state, cultural normalization,
and economic liberalism. The richness and vitality of feminist and
queer theory, as well as their relevance to matters central to the
law and politics of our time, are on full display in this volume.

What unique challenges face LGBTQ individuals in relationships or
who are separating or divorcing, especially now that same-sex
couples may marry? What issues might complicate the ending of
relationships when children, multiple partners, or multiple parents
are present? How do gender, gender transition, ethnicity,
immigration status, economic status, geography, and other
characteristics shape the experiences of divorcing or separating
LGBTQ people? Finally, how can therapists and lawyers most
effectively assist LGBTQ people whose relationships and families
are dissolving? LGBTQ Divorce and Relationship Dissolution:
Psychological and Legal Perspectives and Implications for Practice
brings together social science and legal perspectives to examine
the timely topic of relationship dissolution and divorce among
sexual and gender minorities. The first edited book to tackle this
topic in an informed, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary matter,
this volume gathers and expands current knowledge on topics such as
LGBTQ people's relationship and dissolution patterns; the divorce
and child custody rules and processes that now apply to many LGBTQ
families; and the surrounding political and cultural environment in
the United States. It will also address practical issues such as
mediation with same-sex couples who are separating or divorcing,
financial planning, and family therapy for sexual minority parents
and their children in the context of divorce/dissolution. With
chapters contributed by leading scholars and practitioners from
law, political science, psychology, sociology, and other
disciplines, LGBTQ Divorce and Relationship Dissolution will be an
invaluable resource for academics, practitioners, policymakers, and
LGBTQ people. It will also be of interest to students in
psychology, counseling, law, and LGBTQ and gender studies.
