7 New Trends and Consequences of Divorce

1. Consensual divorce's rise — the urban pattern; the mediation-assisted settlements; the divorce-rate's quiet climb (state statistically-hedged); 2. The child-centered turn: the best-interest custody-and-access decrees; the child-support enforcement; the child's hearing (the age-of-discretion consultations); 3. The same-sex-exit question: with recognition (Unit 2) comes the remedies' extension question; 4. Consequences of divorce: the status-end (succession-and-maintenance's end; the remarriage right); the property-division; the custody-and-maintenance orders' continuation; the "iddat"-type none — Nepal's secular timetable; the social-security absence (the divorced woman's economic vulnerability as the policy gap); the children's arrangements' flexibility (the co-parenting decrees' beginning).
