Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Our Divorce Courts: Their Origin and History, Why They Are Needed, How They Are Abused, and How They May Be Reformed"" is a book written by Charles Cowley and first published in 1880. The book explores the history of divorce courts, their purpose and necessity, the ways in which they are often misused or abused, and potential reforms that could be implemented to improve their effectiveness. Cowley begins by tracing the origins of divorce courts, which he argues can be traced back to ancient times. He then discusses the importance of divorce courts in modern society, arguing that they are necessary in order to provide a fair and just system for resolving marital disputes. However, Cowley also acknowledges that divorce courts are often abused by individuals seeking to take advantage of the system for personal gain. He discusses various ways in which this abuse occurs, including false accusations of abuse, collusion between spouses to obtain a divorce, and the use of divorce as a means of avoiding financial responsibilities. Finally, Cowley offers suggestions for how divorce courts could be reformed in order to prevent abuse and improve their effectiveness. These suggestions include greater transparency in court proceedings, increased oversight of judges and lawyers, and the implementation of more stringent requirements for obtaining a divorce. Overall, ""Our Divorce Courts: Their Origin and History, Why They Are Needed, How They Are Abused, and How They May Be Reformed"" provides a comprehensive look at the history and current state of divorce courts, as well as potential solutions for improving their functioning in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
