Divorce
Adoption
Premarital Agreement
While cohabitation agreements are similar to prenuptial agreements and so, at least, seem familiar, family law is also on the leading edge of technology both at the beginning and end of life. Problems that were never even dreamed of in law school are becoming common place. Family lawyers are now dealing with the whole issue of the reproductive technology, and should be well versed in that issue. Problems arising out of this reproductive technology are numerous. Who are the parents? Who owns the frozen embryos if there is a divorce? Does a parent have a duty to support a child born years after a divorce? Can a husband's new wife carry a frozen fetus created with the first wife's egg? Can a widow be fertilized with her deceased husband's frozen sperrn? If she is, does that child inherit? What about social security? Can frozen embryo be adopted by third parties? All of these are new and novel issues, most of which have not been litigated in any state. Often, when they are litigated, they are idiosyncratic to the facts presented and therefore there is little precedental value. As assisted reproductive technology continues to becorne more cornrnon, the family lawyer will see more and more of these types of problems in his office. They will represent a larger part of his or her practice, and the lawyer who is not familiar with the technical language or with the technology itself will find herself falling behind. At the other end of life, family lawyers deal with the issue of who has the right to rnake life and death determinations. Often, as part of divorces, wills are drawn, and as part of this new estate plan, new health care proxys and powers of attorney should be executed. These are issue which should be the bread and butter of a solo or srnall firm practitioner. Any client should be made aware of the problems of not having a health care proxy or a living will. Every state has legislation now that
Child Abuse
Is necessary in order to ensure that every family who uses a parent coordinator receives appropriate competent services. Fortunately, there are areas of general agreement as to some of the regulations regarding parent coordinators. For instance, by its nature, the parent coordinating process is not confidential and, almost universally, all rules designate the parties must be made aware of this. Many states require a written waiver of all privilege and rules regarding confidentiality. Additionally, the parent coordinator is mandated to report child abuse or neglect, even though they are not acting as therapists. Another area of agreement is that the parent coordinator cannot perform multiple sequential roles. Thus, once appointed as a parent coordinator, a person cannot later serve as a child advocate, custody evaluator, therapist or lawyer for any of the parties, nor should they attempt to provide these services during the parent coordinating process. It is apparent that the parent coordinator has become a necessary adjunct in the divorce process. A parent coordinator is the only person in the divorce process that has authority, access to parties and the clinical skills needed to help resolve conflicts and to teach parents how to solve these problems themselves. However, in a world where parents constantly move across state lines, and even across the country, a unifonn approach to training, authority and enforcement powers is necessary if the parent coordination process is to be effective and families are going to receive uniformly competent services.
