Advising the Evolving Family

Product ID: AK0438
Published By: State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE
ISBN: 978-1-57862-615-1

Part of the Books Unbound Library Collection: Family Law

As times have changed, so have families. In 1970, 70% of the U.S. population was married. In 2017 that number fell to 48%. Along with the steady decline of marriage numbers, more people are cohabitating without marriage – a number that has increased by 29% from 2007 to 2016.

At the same time, LGBTQ couples are embracing marriage. More than 60% of cohabitating same-sex couples are married. And rates of step-parent and second-parent adoption and surrogacy are also on the rise. The “traditional” family of a mom, dad, two biological kids, and a dog is no longer the rule or the majority.
