Description: "As a consequence of the increased mobility of families between different countries, family lawyers are now frequently faced by cases with an international element. Such cases may relate to any of the whole range of family law issues, and the applicable law is often difficult to ascertain. A Practical Guide to International Family Law provides the practitioner with comprehensive coverage of the international elements of the law, presuming a knowledge of the general law of children, ancillary relief etc. It is written in an accessible style (with checklists, flow-charts, highlighted boxes) for family lawyers in England and Wales who require guidance on good practice and procedure in respect of international matters. This work will be of benefit to all family law barristers and solicitors who encounter cases with an international dimension."--Publisher.
