Legal conflict
Problems may arise in family law where there is a question of jurisdictional law applicable to marital relations or for detention and divorce, and whether divorce or parenting orders are recognized under the laws of other jurisdictions. For child custody, many countries have joined the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abductions to give recognition to the orders of detainees of other member states and to avoid the issue of parental abduction.
