KEEPING IT CIVIL: THE CASE OF THE PRE-NUP AND THE PORSCHE & OTHER TRUE ACCOUNTS FROM THE FILES OF A FAMILY LAWYER
Book ID/图书代码： 00342513B63055
English Summary/英文概要： A woman seeking a divorce has no idea of the family finances—her husband doled out money only after she gave him requisition slips for her intended purchases. A lesbian couple wants to include their sperm donor in their child’s life—the sperm donor is the brother of one partner, so he will be the biological father as well as the child’s uncle. These are the clients who come knocking on family lawyer Margaret Klaw’s door, hoping for resolution.
Keeping It Civil looks at hot-button issues, such as new reproductive technologies and gay marriage, through the lens of ordinary people seeking counsel. A case about a prenuptial agreement becomes a meditation on the financial independence of women. A father who sues for custody because his ex-wife sends their son to school in slippers offers a look at how a lawyer selects what is relevant when pleading a case, and how a judge determines what makes a “good” parent.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一位想要离婚的女性一点也不清楚家庭的财务状况——只有当她把想要购买的物品清单给丈夫时，她的丈夫才会发一些钱给她。一对女同性恋夫妇想要将她们的精子捐献者认作孩子的父亲——精子捐献者是其中一位伴侣的兄弟,所以他将会是孩子的生父以及叔叔。这些客户都是前往家庭律师玛格丽特克洛（Margaret Klaw）办公室咨询的人,希望他们的问题能得到解决。
