Summary "This volume, the product of the 2003 Rocco C. and Marion S. Siciliano Forum at the University of Utah, explores various issues related to fragile families. In addition to addressing the proposition that government involvement can raise marriage rates, this book contains legal and theoretical perspectives on the marriage agenda, addresses some of the causes and consequences of offspring well-being in fragile families, and considers the importance of fathers."--Jacket
