Abstract

Family law, once a stable area, has turned into a rapidly developing and thus becoming one of the most interesting and dynamic areas of law. To a significant extent it is connected with the shift in family forms we observed during recent time, and developments in reproductive medicine that allowed, in particular, to split genetic and social parentage. Along with these serious challenges to traditional family law ideas, globalization and migration processes, in turn, have brought another set of challenges for those working in family law at both national and international levels. Cross-border family disputes are increasingly becoming an every-day reality for practicing lawyers, not to mention the topics for numerous academic legal studies. Therefore, to be a specialist in this field nowadays it is not enough just to know one’s own national family law. The scales of changes make specialists in family law, both academics and practitioners, pay substantial attention to foreign legal regulation and international family law instruments.
