Professor Margaret Ryznar was quoted for two stories that appear in the July 26 issue of Indiana Lawyer. She discussed the Department of Child Services cases that have resulted in awards for damages, and the uptick in divorces among couples who are 50 and older and the unique challenges those present to family lawyers.

Professor Ryznar noted the Department of Child Services heavy caseloads, and the need for the agency to strike a balance between interfering too much in families and too little. The trend in what is termed "gray divorces,” is driven by the change in attitudes toward individuals wanting to put their own happiness first, she said in the story on the subject.

Professor Ryznar is an associate professor of law, Dean’s Fellow, and Grimes Fellow. She teaches family law; international and comparative family law; juvenile law; income taxation of individuals, fiduciaries and business associations; and trusts and estates. In addition to contributing to the Huffington Post, she edits the Family Law Prof Blog.
