Features: The book "The American Modern Marriage and Family System" is a research outcome of Comrade Xia Yinlan's study, investigation, and lectures in the United States. It is also China's first monograph that comprehensively discusses the contemporary American marriage and family system. In this monograph, the author not only systematically introduces the structural system, divorce system, and child custody and visitation system in traditional American family law but also explores beneficially the flexible marriage systems in non-traditional family law, such as partner marriage, presumed marriage, as well as hot issues in American family law. This monograph is innovative in concept, rich in content, well-structured, well-supported by materials, and written in a fluent style. Especially notable is the author's ability to combine practical American contexts in the discussion, analyzing and examining some typical cases, which gives the book both theoretical depth and readability.
