Many of those are in significant relationships--some intimate, others based in friendship, finances, or family ties--but the law offers them few protections. Amid the growing recognition that modern families take all shapes, \u003ci\u003eMore Than Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e presents a refreshing vision for the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With this book, noted family-law expert John G. Culhane takes us on a guided tour of how the march toward marriage equality spun off a number of other legal statuses, and explores how the law has expanded and where it falls short. This lively living history is grounded in relatable, in-depth interviews that give voice to the millions of Americans building family structures outside the protections of marriage--whether by choice, necessity, or exclusion. Culhane proposes an updated legal status that offers flexible and portable benefits for a diverse range of commitments and needs. As \u003ci\u003eMore Than Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e shows, this \"choose your own adventure\" structure more accurately reflects, and more equitably protects, the many kinds of families we choose to build.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46416506224791,"sku":"9780520391659","price":6631.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780520391659.webp?v=1769063698","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/more-than-marriage-forming-families-after-marriage-equality-9780520391659","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
