This chapter addresses the legal issues of importance to women with epilepsy. These include employment, motor vehicle licensing, family law, and insurance. The employment provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) provide that 'no covered entity shall discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability because of the disability in regard to discharge of employees and other terms, conditions and privileges of employment'. For women with epilepsy in particular, the issue of whether they will be able to keep a child in a custody battle, or even adopt a child, is the legal issue that may cause greatest concern. The area that has probably been least affected by the disability rights movement is the underwriting of health and life insurance. Many health insurance policies have requirements with respect to the nature or the length of exclusion for preexisting conditions that adversely affect the insurability of individuals with epilepsy.
