In this paper we derive an explicit model of negotiations between spouses when utility is (partially) transferable only in case of separation. We show that inefficient separation may occur in equilibrium even under consensual divorce law. This provides theoretical support for the view that changes in social norms rather than in legislation may be responsible for increasing divorce rates.

A subcommittee of the state bar's Legislative Committee was appointed to study all sections of our divorce law, with a view to recommending changes to the state legislature if such study should show that amendments were desirable. The results of that study have been twice reported in this journal. The committee's work resulted in a number of specific recommendations, and later a bill was drafted and submitted to the 1949 legislature, where it was passed without substantial amendment. Approved by the Governor March I9, it will become effective June 9, 1949. Chapter 215, Laws of 1949, is a complete recodification, with amendments, of the statutes relating to divorce or annulment of marriage. Section i provides that the act may be cited as the Divorce Bill of 1949.

In 1991, the people of Ireland elected Mary Robinson, a women's rights crusader who supported legalized birth control and divorce, as their president. The country seemed poised for massive social and legal change, but it became apparent that even though Ireland at the dawn of the 21st century would be very different from the Ireland of the past, many fundamentals would remain the same. This book examines Irish abortion and divorce law in their historical, religious, and cultural contexts. Its main focus is on the well-publicized referenda and court cases of the 1980s and 1990s, with special at

This paper provides a study of the new law on divorce from a public law perspective; it identifies a number of issues which are worth analysing from the point of view of Constitutional Law and Administrative Law. These comprise the obligatory referendum mechanism, the relevance of the Interpretation Act1 to the making of regulations under the divorce law, the formulation of a Henry VIII clause empowering the Prime Minister to amend primary legislation through subsidiary law, the administrative law issue of continuing to task mediators with non-mediation functions, that is, to act as conciliators, the lack of a definition of key terms such as 'domicile' and 'ordinary residence' and, generally, the drafting style of the divorce law, dedicating particular attention to its very first provision. The author will argue that the divorce law could have been a better product from a legislative point of view if certain improvements suggested in this paper were incorporated therein. ; peer-reviewed
