Abstract

This paper deals with the question how, if at all, international law influences, or has the potential to influence, national laws on co-parenting, and whether it prescribes, supports or obstructs co-parenting. This question is answered by discussing the relevant provisions of international and European instruments, such as the CRC, the ECHR, the EU Charter and the CEFL Principles, by comparing the different types of instruments with each other; and by highlighting the emerging trends.
