LAW APPLICABLE TO DIVORCE WITH FOREIGN ELEMENT
LAW APPLICABLE TO DIVORCE WITH FOREIGN ELEMENT

Summary/Abstract: Increasing citizens' mobility at an international level and, in particular, within the European Union has increased the number of families with an international dimension, ie families whose members have different citizenships or live in different states. When families are separated, international cooperation is required to protect the major interests of children resulting from marriage, in order to provide them with a secure legal environment to maintain relationships with persons who have parental responsibility towards them. Law systems have adopted specific regulations that establish how to determine the law applicable to family relationships with a foreign element. Within the European Union, uniform regulations have been adopted on family relationships with a foreign element (divorce with a foreign element being one of the regulated areas).
