Attorney General Packel urges end to biased divorce laws
In defending equal rights, Attorney General Israel Packel argues two Pennsylvania divorce code sections privilege women and violate the three year old equal rights amendment.

He asserts the court should remove bias and require the wealthier spouse to aid the other when resources differ.
