Abstract	:	Domestic relations law has struggled with feminism for decades, and it has never truly found a place in the family law arena. The crux of the problem, no doubt, is that family law has always had a difficult time defining feminism in context. From an economic perspective, is it feminist to provide economic assistance to women, who studies continue to show suffer far more than do their male counterparts in the wake of divorce? Or does feminism instead require a recognition of the ability of women to make equivalent financial contributions to a marriage as men, and thereby accept only pure equality of treatment? A series of incongruent doctrines makes it clear that family law truly does not know what feminism should mean.
