Family law disputes involving EU after Brexit

If the UK leaves the EU without a deal on 29 March 2019, some EU family law agreements will no longer apply to the UK and GUIDANCE on this has been published today.

This will affect rules on:

  • the country that family law disputes are heard in
  • how decisions made in one country will be recognised and enforced in another

This applies to cases in England and Wales for:

  • divorce
  • matters relating to children
  • child maintenance
  • EU rules on child abduction
