This volume reflects and explores the impact of changing family norms and responsibilities and considers the extent to which the law should reflect them. By bringing together some of the most eminent and imaginative scholars and judges working in this area, it is a valuable resource for all those interested in the legal regulation of the transforming family. 'Taking Responsibility, Law and the Changing Family provides a sustained and rigorous analysis of substantive controversial issues in family law and, more importantly, of the key concepts that underlie them. Thinking widely and critically about "responsibility", this collection challenges too often unquestioned assumptions and imaginatively redraws the boundaries of the discipline.' Daniel Monk, University of London, UK 'Drawing on an impressive array of diverse expertise from around the world, this book exposes the changing landscape of 'family' and dynamically engages with the practical, theoretical and social challenges which this fast-moving area of law is facing globally. It is an invaluable resource to anyone interested in this field.' Anne Barlow, University of Exeter, UK
