Children, the Law, and the Welfare Principle: Perspectives from North America by Kerry O'HalloranCall Number: K639 .O335 2023 Law
Publication Date: 2023
By identifying and analysing the functions of the principle in the public (care, protection and control etc), in the private (matrimonial, adoption etc), and in the hybrid (adoption from care, surrogacy etc) sectors of family law, this book builds a picture of the law relating to children in the U.S. and Canada and reveals significant jurisdictional differences. By examining the legislation and related caselaw it assesses the differential effect of the same legal framework on the welfare of Indigenous and other children.
