The New Yorker quotes Professor Joslin in story on protections for multi-parent families
Professor Courtney Joslin was quoted in a New Yorker story about how the law is evolving to recognize and protect multi-parent families.
“The law should allow for the recognition of actual functional adult familial relationships, even if the parties have not formalized those relationships,” Joslin says in the piece. Thus, she continues, if more than two people intend to and do function as parents to a child, the court should be able to recognize all three as parents. Read the story.
Professor Joslin is a scholar in the field of family and relationship recognition, with a particular focus on same-sex and non-marital couples.
