This course deals with different types of families both those based on traditional opposite-sex marriages and other classified in cohabitation, different types of registration of partnerships and same-sex marriages. Family law has developed in the last decade to include other than traditional families, but this development has been achieved in very different ways depending on the country. The objective of the course is to provide the student with a general and comprehensive knowledge of both substantive and private international law regulation in the matter, with a main focus on European countries (including EU legislation and case law from the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights), but also looking at the developments in the United States and Latin America.
