Courting Change: Queer Parents, Judges, and the Transformation of American Family Law

A closely reasoned study of how the inherent flexibility of family law “allows openings for new types of families and new types of rights to emerge, and that’s exactly what’s led to custody and adoption rights for gay and lesbian parents.” The book is based on Richman’s study of every one of the 316 published appeals court judicial decisions in the U.S. between 1952 and 2004 in child custody, visitation, or adoption cases involving one or more known LGBT parents.
