If you've gone through difficult divorce involving child custody and had someone advocating for your rights, you have Caroline Norton to thank for this. She was the first woman who changed divorce and child custody laws. A married woman had no legal existence according to English law in 1800's. When she was pregnant with the fourth child, she was beaten so badly by her husband that she miscarried. Then she ran away from home to her mother, trying to obtain legal separation and custody over her sons, but soon she realized that she had no legal rights to her children. It was then that Caroline started her long campaign to reform the judicial system. She wrote a number of polemical pamphlets that were instrumental in passing the Infant Custody Act through Parliament in 1839, and the first Divorce Act in 1857. Thank you Dr A. Diniejko for your contribution. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-508936/The-wife-changed-history--asking-divorce.html#ixzz2v88VDER8 ...read more
