LEAF has been granted leave to intervene!!! Here is what they have to say about the case:
Some of the issues of importance in Rick v. Brandsema for LEAF and West
Coast LEAF include:
a women's consistent disadvantage and inequitable results in family
law settlement agreements - leading to barriers of women's economic
independence and survival;
serious and unique challenges for rural farm wives;
advancing equality analysis in an area of law which has enormous
effects on women and children;
re-defining the understanding and reviewing the value processes of
negotiation-based resolutions in family law; and
women, mental illness and family law
This case offers opportunity to influence and advance family law and
thereby women's economic potential.
