Press Release: EU citizens ask for more EU action in field of family law which is at heart of their concerns and in the centre of EU Justice debate

The European Union allows people an unprecedented level of free mobility. As it has become free to travel, work, and study within the Union, very often marriages and families are being formed between individuals from different Member States, or couples settle down in another Member State. EU citizens, as showed by a recent Eurobarometer Survey, are asking enhanced EU wide attention to ensure clarity and legal certainty about the nature of family law regulations such as divorce settlements, child custody dealings and inheritance.
