Many families now have homes or relatives in other countries and acting for such clients requires the practitioner to tackle, understand and advise on issues outside mainstream domestic divorce law.

International family law reform can best go forward when practitioners and academics learn from and communicate with each other.

Edited by Elizabeth Walsh, the respected editor of Family Law, with the help of leading family law specialists from around the world, International Family Law will keep you fully informed of all the latest developments in such subject areas as:

Regular articles on the wider cultural issues of divorce around the world also help you to comprehend the context of each case.
