Description
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Divorcing Responsibly by Helen Reece
This book provides an analysis of the increasing impact on the law in general and divorce law in particular of post-liberalismwhich replaces choice with self-discovery. The author shows that post-liberal premises formed the foundation for every aspect of the recent divorce reform proposals. Accordingly she attributes their failure to the contradictions inherent within post-liberalism. Nevertheless she concludes that post-liberalism maintains a subtle yet pervasive influence on the law. Specifically this means that we are held accountable not for what we do but for how we approach our decisions. Thus for the first time ever it has become possible to divorce responsibly.show more
