Empowering European Families - Towards More Party Autonomy in European Family and Succession Law
Anne Barlow presenting at the 'Empowering European Families' project final conference in Germany
Anne Barlow, Professor of Family Law and Policy, University of Exeter, is a member of the Working Group of the EU-funded project Empowering European Families based at the European Law Institute in Vienna.
The Working Group looks at ways to resolve the complex legal position of 'international couples' within the EU when relationships break down or one partner dies.
On Friday 1 December, Professor Barlow will be presenting at the project’s final conference at the European Academy of European Law in Trier, Germany. The audience will include European policy-makers, academics and practitioners on the unpredictable position of international cohabiting couples who gain and lose rights as they move across borders in Europe.
