Preferred term

child custody and the law  

Definition(s)

  • Despite the fact that women give birth to children and usually are expected to provide primary nurture and care, mothers have had an ambivalent relationship with child custody law. In some historical periods, custody laws have been inversely related to the biological and social ties between mothers and children. [Source: Encyclopedia of Motherhood; Child Custody and the Law]
