Lesson 2: The Extended Family
If you have a child from a previous marriage and you marry again, what legal obligations does your new spouse have to your children? If you are an adult and your aging parents are no longer able to support themselves, do you have a legal obligation to provide for them? If your adult child has children and his or her marriage breaks up, what rights, if any, do you have to visit or be involved with your grandchildren?
In this lesson you will be looking at issues like these issues that pertain to the area of family law that goes beyond marriage, cohabitation, and separation. Of course, family law is a broad area, and you will be able to touch upon only a few issues like these that involve the extended family. The hope is that the lesson will help make you aware of the sorts of problems that commonly arise in the area of family law and the way the courts and lawmakers deal with them.
