Bringing together scholars from a wide range of disciplines, this
fascinating and timely Research Handbook provides diverse
perspectives on the law and practice of adoption. It examines how
adoption laws differ between countries and cultures, and the
ongoing effects of adoption on the child, the birth parent(s), and
the adoptive parent(s). This Research Handbook documents the
history of adoption legislation and offers comparative perspectives
on the implementation of full adoption in England and Wales, in
contrast to the use of simple adoption in other European countries.
Chapters examine the challenges facing adoption law; from adoption
without parental consent and anonymous birth, to transracial and
intercountry adoption, as well as discussing the human rights of
the child during and after the adoption process. Providing an
abundance of global research on all aspects of the topic of
adoption, Nigel Lowe and Claire Fenton-Glynn offer a comprehensive
guide to the past, present, and future of adoption law. The
Research Handbook of Adoption Law will be an indispensable resource
for students and researchers of family law and social work, as well
as human rights lawyers, legal practitioners in the field of
adoption, and social workers worldwide.
Three years after its establishment the CEFL presents its first
Principles of European Family Law in the field of divorce and
maintenance between former spouses. The Principles aim to bestow
the most suitable means for the harmonisation of family laws in
Europe. In this respect they may serve as a frame of reference for
national, European and international legislatures alike. The
Principles could considerably facilitate their task not only by
virtue of the fact that the CEFL's in-depth and comprehensive
comparative research is easily accesible but also because most of
the rules have been drafted in a way legislatures normally consider
to be appropriate.
There can be no doubt that both substantive family and succession
law engage in significant interaction with private international
law, and, in particular, the European Union instruments in the
field. While it is to be expected that substantive law heavily
influences private international law instruments, it is
increasingly evident that this influence can also be exerted in the
reverse direction. Given that the European Union has no legislative
competence in the fields of family and succession law beyond
cross-border issues, this influence is indirect and, as a
consequence of this indirect nature, difficult to trace.This book
brings together a range of views on the reciprocal influences of
substantive and private international law in the fields of family
and succession law. It outlines some key elements of this interplay
in selected jurisdictions and provides a basis for discussion and
future work on the reciprocal influences of domestic and European
law. It is essential that the choices for and within certain
European instruments are made consciously and knowingly. This book
therefore aims to raise awareness that these reciprocal influences
exist, to stimulate academic debate and to facilitate a more open
debate between European institutions and national stakeholders.
The Principles of European Family Law which are drafted by the CEFL
are aimed at contributing to the harmonisation of family law in
Europe. They may thus be used as a frame of reference. The first
set of Principles in the field of Divorce and Maintenance Between
Former Spouses was launched in 2004. This book contains the
Principles Regarding Parental Responsibilities. In these
Principles, the CEFL has developed a comprehensive and original set
of rules in the field of parental responsibilities based on respect
for the rights of the child, non-discrimination and, as far as
possible, self-determination. In their provisions on specific
issues the Principles opt for solutions which seem to be workable
and shall avoid unnecessary hardship and disputes.
Grandparenting in divorced families is the first in-depth
exploration of grandparents' relationships with their adult
children and grandchildren in divorced families. It asks what part
grandparents might play in public policy and whether measures
should be taken to support their grandparenting role. Do
grandparents have a special role in family life that ought to be
recognised in law? This book examines grandparents' roles and
functions and gives voice to their attitudes and opinions.
Grandparenting is often represented sentimentally with too little
account taken of the diversity of attitudes and behaviour. The
study asks challenging questions about grandparents' contributions
to family life and comments on the legal and policy implications.
It includes fascinating discussion of issues such as: grandparents
who are excluded and ignored; partisan behaviour and its effect on
family relationships; communicating across the family divide;
change and continuity in grandparents' relationships with their
grandchildren. This groundbreaking book is intended for a wide
readership. Grandparents and parents in divorced families will
identify with many of the thoughts, feelings and experiences r
