Book Description
International law has become part of everyday family law practice, as lawyers everywhere are confronted with questions regarding the rights of 'mail-order' brides, the adoption of children from other countries, the abduction of children by foreign parents, and domestic violence victims seeking asylum. Indeed, globalization is transforming family law, even as families themselves are being redefined. This book provides a practical overview of such issues and also examines the ways in which culture shapes family law in different countries. It provides students with a useful introduction to challenging, complicated and fascinating issues in international family law. Finally, by incorporating a comparative perspective, it gives readers an opportunity to re-examine their own legal systems.

Book Description
With regard to family law, this volume examines claims based on cultural tradition, ethnic background, custom, religious affiliation and sexual orientation, as well as various other “claims” that are not officially recognized in state law, in 15 jurisdictions around the world. The country reports seek to determine whether these claims represent a challenge to family law as conceived by the state, and if so, how these challenges are being managed. The focus lies on the interaction between (i) claims and traditions raising minority-related and diversity-related issues and (ii) the state as the addressee of these demands for accommodation. The reports identify specific instances and situations that have proven (and in many cases still are) particularly difficult to resolve. They force decision-makers to engage in a delicate balancing act between different, often clashing interests.

Book Description
Widening global inequalities make it difficult for parents in developing nations to provide for their children, and both mothers and fathers often find that migration in search of higher wages is their only hope. Their dreams are straightforward: with more money, they can improve their children's lives. But the reality of their experiences is often harsh, and structural barriers—particularly those rooted in immigration policies and gender inequities—prevent many from reaching their economic goals. Sacrificing Families offers a first-hand look at Salvadoran transnational families, how the parents fare in the United States, and the experiences of the children back home. It captures the tragedy of these families' daily living arrangements, but also delves deeper to expose the structural context that creates and sustains patterns of inequality in their well-being. What prevents these parents from migrating with their children? What are these families' experiences with long-term separation? And why do some ultimately fare better than others? As free trade agreements expand and nation-states open doors widely for products and profits while closing them tightly for refugees and migrants, these transnational families are not only becoming more common, but they are living through lengthier separations. Leisy Abrego gives voice to these immigrants and their families and documents the inequalities across their experiences.

Book Description
When Dominique's marriage ended because his wife filed for a divorce, he had not expected what would follow. When he thought he was a loving and present father who could easily enter into an easy, stress-free co-parenting arrangement with his estranged wife, he didn't know that this would be the beginning of years of stress, extortion, frustration and disappointment with the very systems he thought would help him have shared custody of his kids? His is a story of how an ordinary guy who was ambitious and hard-working tending to his family would end up with an extraordinary loss of everything he held dear because of the desire for vengeance from his ex-wife. From resigning from a career as an IT Executive to founding a school with over 10 years experience as a Credentialed Director with Florida's Department of Children and Family, Dominique's story is triumphant and exhilarating to see that the family court system even when abused by anyone who has the right connections, money, and power, is not enough to destroy one's spirit in being a great parent. Follow his journey throughout his divorce (there is an appendix at the end showing the court proceedings), including how he ended up broke and unable to afford a lawyer, being forced to represent himself as a pro se litigant, to losing his school, commercial property, the kids and much more. In addition, as if that's not enough, follow how he has fought the system, uncovered illegalities, corruption, and unethical legal practices that would make you think again about being so confident that being an educated and informed pro se litigant is enough to get you a fair share of access to your kids and property during a divorce. Learn how he has since rediscovered himself, tried new things and is on a recovery journey while having fun and enjoying every moment of it! His 7 spiritual lessons about recovery will undoubtedly prove helpful to anyone who has been in a similar situation and hasn't found an effective coping mechanism.
