'This book makes a significant contribution to the literature on an important, complex and sensitive topic. It is comprehensive, meticulous and well written. It explains how the Rome III Regulation will, or should, operate in practice but, most importantly, it thoughtfully addresses the many questions that the Regulation leaves unanswered.'--Symeon Symeonides, Willamette University, US'As about 13% of divorces in Europe have links with more than one country, the Rome III Regulation covers a significant need in EU law. However, lawyers and judges, particularly, must still spend their time solving problems such as how to avoid forum shopping, and clarifying the relationship with other instruments on related matters such as maintenance obligations. This Commentary, coordinated by Sabine Corneloup with the participation of outstanding specialists, provides an essential tool to help in this difficult task.'--Alegría Borrás, University of Barcelona, Spain
