Details

This timely book examines the personal and family status of the natural person in cross-border situations, within the framework of the fundamental rights. Featuring eminent scholars in private international law and internationally known European judges and practitioners, the book includes critical analysis of key topics and case studies.

Authors adopt both a theoretical and practical perspective to assess the emerging challenges facing transnational families, from evaluating human rights in cross-border family situations to detailing different kinds of status and their related challenges. They address topics including the recognition of rainbow families and gender identity, the parent–child relationship and cross-border recognition of international and foreign adoptions. Presenting an in-depth analysis of ongoing issues and developments, this book strengthens understanding and research of cross-border family status in Europe.

Status and Family Relationships in European Private International Law is a crucial resource for legal scholars and students specialising in private international law, family law and comparative law. The book is also an essential tool for practitioners working in sensitive cross-border situations.
