Research Handbook on International Family Law
Janeen M. Carruthers (University of Glasgow) and Bobby W.M. Lindsay (University of Glasgow) edited Research Handbook on International Family Law.
Published by Edward Elgar in its Research Handbooks in Family Law series, the book addresses legal topics pertaining to family relationships in a cross-border context, and international family law disputes. It shows how this field of study has developed, and continues to develop, and adeptly surveys the practice and regulation of international family law.
It takes an international approach, examining various jurisdictions and viewpoints, and demonstrates that as the number of international families grows, so does the potential for cross-border family law disputes. It provides an overview of current research in international family law, analysing topics such as legal parentage, intercountry adoption, habitual residence, parental responsibility, child and family relocation, international child abduction, forced marriage, and the financial and property consequences of adult relationships.
