Article summary

November 2016 highlights from the Lexis®PSL Family team. This month’s highlights include news of electronic filing at the Financial Remedies Unit and the latest on Brexit and Article 50. We consider decisions regarding the transfer of children proceedings to another Member State, delaying decree absolute, the jurisdiction of the English courts in relation to children where there is no jurisdiction under Brussels II bis, and financial relief after overseas divorce. We also look at the impact of shared care on child maintenance, the removal of a child within the UK, representation where a guardian’s view is opposed, and surrogacy and the withholding of consent.
