The Research Handbook on International Family Law brings together a carefully selected array of experts to address legal topics pertaining to family relationships in a cross-border context, and international family law disputes. It shows how this independent field of study has developed, and continues to develop, and adeptly surveys the practice and regulation of international family law.

Providing a scholarly overview of current research in international family law, this Research Handbook presents critical perspectives on complex issues arising in the field. It adopts an international approach, considering a range of jurisdictions and perspectives, and shows that, as the number of international families increases, so too does the potential for cross-border, family law disputes. The Handbook provides a scholarly overview of current research in international family law, and the contributing authors offer critical perspectives on complex topics, such as legal parentage, intercountry adoption, habitual residence, parental responsibility, child and family relocation, international child abduction, forced marriage, and the financial and property consequences of adult relationships.

This essential Research Handbook is a fundamental reference work for scholars and postgraduate researchers of family law and private international law. Likewise, legal practitioners working in the family law arena will benefit from this important resource due to its focus on research, policy and practice.
