Résumé / Abstract : "The right to divorce is a symbol of individual liberty and gender equality under the law, but it's an unachieved emancipation. "Family Law in Action" reveals the persistent class and gender inequalities embedded in the process of separation and its aftermath in Quebec and France. Drawing on empirical research conducted on their respective court and welfare systems, Emilie Biland analyzes how men and women in both places encounter the law and its representatives in ways that affect their personal and professional lives. This rigorous but compassionate study encourages governments to make good on the emancipatory promise enshrined in divorce law."
