Abstract

The article reviews case law indicating how an English court might determine the child custody claim in the 1979 film "Kramer vs Kramer", in which the mother was awarded custody despite abandoning the child to his father's care, with the implication that mothers are viewed by courts as being better parents than fathers. Comments on the film's ending in which the parents resolve the family relationship privately.
