International Family Law, the unrivalled source of news, comment, articles and cases, will provide you with the knowledge you need to handle these complex cases.

But as well as dealing with practical issues affecting lawyers' case work, International Family Law looks as some of the deeper issues concerning the rationale and jurisprudence of existing law. International family law reform can best go forward when practitioners and academics learn from and communicate with each other.

  • Forum shopping

  • International parental child abduction
  • Conflicts of matrimonial and property laws
  • Disclosure of evidence
  • Regular articles on the wider cultural issues of divorce around the world also help you to comprehend the context of each case.
