Abstract

This paper examines current changes in child custody determination policies and related programs. Family Impact Analysis, a framework for assessing the impact of legal and social policy on the family, is described as an objective approach of investigating the implementation of family legal policy. The utility of Family Impact Analysis is illustrated by its application to an analysis of child custody policy and a recently developed mediation counseling program used in child custody determination cases in the family court services of Hennepin County (Minneapolis), Minnesota.
