European Family Law Volume II: The Changing Concept of ‘Family’ and Challenges for Domestic Family Law
The
Changing Concept of ‘Family’ and Challenges for Domestic Family Law
explores the changing concept of ‘family’, with the current social,
political, medical and scientific challenges for domestic family law
discussed in over 20 European jurisdictions. National reports describe
the current law and legal development for ‘horizontal’ (the law of
relationships between adults such as marriage, divorce, cohabitation,
same-sex relationships), ‘vertical’ (the law governing the relationships
between adults and children, such as parentage including artificial
reproductive techniques and surrogacy, parental responsibility and
adoption) and ‘individual’ (the law of names and recognition of gender
identity) family law. They show that, while considerable legal and
societal diversity still exists within Europe, family law, in many
areas, is developing along similar lines, with a convergence towards a
European family law.
