International family law

International family law policy aims to create a clear, coherent, cost-effective and accessible system of private law rights and responsibilities in relation to cross-border family disputes.

We are responsible for the law of England and Wales in relation to international family law, including divorce, matrimonial property, international child abduction and international family maintenance obligations. We represent the UK in European and international negotiations in relation to private international law on these matters.
