Since the end of the Second World War, increasing numbers of women have decided to become mothers without intending the biological father or a partner to participate in parenting. Many conceive via donor insemination or adopt; others become pregnant after a brief sexual relationship and decide to parent alone.

Where a small body of rights related to sex has been carved out, the central...

Principles derived from game theory are applied to family law, an arena often plagued by bitterness and what appears to be irrational behavior. The principles of game theory--the scientific study of how and why people make decisions--lends itself to the practice of family law in our traditional divorce system, one that often leads to rational but self-defeating sometimes destructive decision-making.
The authors propose a new approach lawyers and mediators can use to improve success rates, optimize outcomes for both parties, decrease conflict, divide property, determine custody...
