International Family Law Practice Focuses on Key Issues Involving Children, Spouses and Families

EAGAN, Minn., April 16, 2010 – Issues of marriage, divorce and child custody and child abduction are grabbing headlines around the globe. Understanding the laws affecting those challenging circumstances in the countries in which they occur requires the expert advice in a new book from West, International Family Law Practice, by Jeremy Morley.

Drawing on Morley's vast experience practicing and teaching international family law, the book offers practical guidance for United States lawyers to effectively handle related matters in collaboration with family lawyers abroad. Morley is the co-chair of the International Family Law Committee, International Law Section, of both the American Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association.

International Family Law Practice includes insight on international marriage and divorce, international prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, international divorce planning, recognition of foreign divorces, international child support and custody, international relocation of children and international child abduction.

"The purpose of this book is to provide some of the co-counsel support that I craved when I first entered the field," said Morley. "While nothing can substitute for the kind of hands-on support that our office provides to family lawyers across the country and indeed around the world as appropriate, I hope that this book will prove valuable to lawyers who are new to the field and to seasoned practitioners in this area alike."

International Family Law Practice is available on the West web site.
