Family Law in Light of the European Fundamental Right to Respect for Family Life

María Victoria Cuartero Rubio (University of Castilla-La Mancha) and José Manuel Velasco Retamosa (University of Castilla-La Mancha) edited El Derecho de Familia a la luz del derecho fundamental europeo al respeto a la vida familiar (Family Law in Light of the European Fundamental Right to Respect for Family Life) with Aranzadi.

The book, part of the project on The Right to Respect for Cross-Border Family Life in a Complex Europe: Open Questions and Practical Challenges, explores how contemporary family realities, diverse, dynamic and at times disruptive, pose a genuine challenge for the law, especially when they acquire a cross-border or international dimension. It adopts an analytical perspective of the right to respect for family life, resulting in a work in an interdisciplinary manner.

From this angle, it revisits family law to identify new issues, reconsider traditional questions and assess the adequacy of existing legal solutions in light of their impact on individual rights, whether these are effectively protected, to what extent and how their protection might be improved. It also considers whether greater legal harmonisation could contribute to this goal.
