Beyond Borders: International Family Law

International Parenting Issues


Listen Later

In this episode of Beyond Borders, we explore the complex and often emotional parenting challenges that arise during and after separation - particularly when families are spread across countries. With a focus on international family law, we unpack key legal, practical, and cultural considerations for separated parents navigating life across borders.

Topics include:

  • Where Will the Children Live?
    Legal frameworks for custody and residency when parents live in different countries.
  • Co-Parenting Across Borders
    How to manage shared parenting across time zones and legal systems.
  • Relocation and the Law
    What happens when one parent wants to move overseas with the children.
  • The Child’s Voice in Custody Cases
    How various jurisdictions approach the child’s wishes.
  • Navigating Cultural Differences
    The impact of different parenting styles, expectations, and cultural norms.

Host and family lawyer Antonia Marron is joined by leading international family law experts and Fellows of the International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL) Susan Warda of Mills Oakley Sydney, Clare Wiseman of Irwin Mitchell in the UK and Steven Mindel of FMBK Law in the US.
