Stepparents need new rights and duties to solve family needs
Almost a third of children living
today will be stepchildren by the age of 18. Put another way, 21
percent of American families with children have at least one
stepparent, according to the 1990 census.
Yet, in spite of this overwhelmingly
common American experience, legal policies regarding stepparents and
stepchildren are inconsistent, contradictory and downright archaic,
according to a UC Berkeley scholar publishing in the current issue
(fall '95) of the Family Law Quarterly, a journal of the American Bar
Association.
