Background

With an estimated one million divorces of international couples in the EU every year, children often end up living in a different country than one of the parents, a situation which is fraught with difficulties from a family law point of view. These difficulties include, for example, knowing which courts have jurisdiction to hear a case on matters of parental responsibility, how a judgment will be recognised and enforced in another Member State and how cross-border parental child abduction can be prevented.

Workshop objectives

  • to provide expert training on Regulation Brussels IIbis, including the main provisions in parental responsibility matters, the rules on international child abduction cases and their interaction with other EU instruments in the area of civil justice
  • to raise awareness of the interrelation of EU, international and domestic legislation on cross-border parental responsibility cases
  • to provide participants with a practical introduction to the preliminary ruling procedure
  • to allow participants to explore the possibilities offered by cross-border family mediation
  • to promote contacts between national judges and lawyers from different members states and provide participants with valuable networking opportunities.

The workshop is designed to be practice-oriented and focused on peer and expert training. Access to an introductory e-learning course will be made available to participants before the workshop allowing them to contribute actively during the training sessions. Participating legal practitioners will deal with concrete situations and be faced with real questions by means of case studies and role-play exercises.

Who should attend?

Participation is open to judges from Croatia, Italy and Slovenia.
