For other uses, see Family law (disambiguation).

Family law (also called matrimonial law or the law of domestic relations) is an area of the law that deals with family matters and domestic relations.[1]

Overview

Subjects that commonly fall under a nation's body of family law include:[2]

This list is not exhaustive and varies depending on jurisdiction.

Conflict of laws

Main articles: Conflict of marriage laws and Conflict of divorce laws

Issues may arise in family law where there is a question as to the laws of the jurisdiction that apply to the marriage relationship or to custody and divorce, and whether a divorce or child custody order is recognized under the laws of another jurisdiction.[9] For child custody, many nations have joined the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction in order to grant recognition to other member states' custody orders and avoid issues of parental kidnapping.[10]
