With the divorce rate rising ever upwards, this volume offers an up-to-date review of all the legal and economic considerations that affect the division of property and pensions upon divorce. Contributors draw upon the experience in the USA, in England, and in Scotland to discuss the impact of law on human behaviour, and to explain how changes in both the law and in economic circumstances have combined to make marriage more fragile and divorce more common.
