Abstract
This chapter sets forth the diversity model of parenthood, situating it in social practice and family law. It looks first at social practice, canvassing diverse pathways to parenthood, and then at family law, showing the law's evolution toward more diversity in defining and supporting parenthood. It explains the normative foundations of the diversity model as well as how changes in constitutional, criminal, and family law, and in women's economic status in society, have facilitated greater family diversity. It argues that government should recognize and support different forms of family. It identifies different perspectives within the diversity model over questions of law and policy, such as the continuing place of marriage and whether and how closely to link adult-adult intimate bonds to parent-child bonds. It also sketches diversity (or disagreement) within the integrative model. The chapter proposes that, given variations within both models, the image of a continuum might better help to map competing conceptions of parenthood in contemporary debates about family life and family law and what is best for adults, children, and society.
