520    "In Unmarried Couples, Law, and Public Policy, Cynthia 
       Grant Bowman explores the legal recognition of 
       heterosexual cohabiting couples in the United States. 
       Unmarried cohabitation has increased at a phenomenal rate 
       in the U.S., over the last few decades, but the law has 
       not responded to the legal issues raised by this new 
       family form. Although a majority of cohabiting unions 
       dissolve within the first two years, many last longer and 
       function like other families, and a large number of 
       children also reside in these households. If one partner 
       dies, is injured, or leaves the family, the remaining 
       family members are left in vulnerable positions in almost 
       every state without survivors' benefits, compensation for 
       loss of a wage-earning partner, or remedies similar to 
       those available upon dissolution of a marriage. The author
       argues that the benefits given to formal marriage should 
       be extended to cohabitants who have lived together for 
       more than two years or give birth to a child. In order to 
       avoid these consequences, a couple would need to opt out 
       of them by contract. Professor Bowman reaches this 
       conclusion after a thorough review of the history of the 
       legal treatment of cohabitation in the United States, the 
       inadequacy of the legal remedies available to cohabitants 
       in most states, the now-voluminous social science 
       literature about cohabitation, and the experience of six 
       other countries (England, Canada, Australia, France, The 
       Netherlands, and Sweden) that have attempted a variety of 
       legal reforms to address the problems of cohabitants."--
