Family Finances

Mehr zum Buch

This comprehensive volume illustrates how modern family and child law in industrialized nations is influenced by cultural backgrounds, including the basic conditions guaranteed by the public. In a rapidly changing society facing global crises, the distinction between private and public risks becomes crucial. Contributions from various regions, including Europe, China, Japan, South Korea, South Africa, North and South America, and Israel, explore vital contemporary issues such as marriages with migration backgrounds, patchwork families, support and alimony, division of matrimonial property, choice of domicile, and financial aspects related to family contributions and transfers. The volume critically examines the reasonableness of these transfers and associated costs in modern society. Many contributions reveal that the intended goals of laws or private agreements may not always be realized. This work is recommended for academics and practitioners interested in diverse legal systems and cultural approaches, encouraging reflection on similar challenges and questions in their own contexts.
