Ministry of Justice Brexit advice

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has published its advice for the public on how cross-border family law cases may be impacted by Brexit. 
For those planning a cross-border divorce after Brexit, the MoJ’s advice is to consult a lawyer. Those seeking recognition of a child arrangement order are advised to consult a local lawyer. Parents looking to have a child maintenance decision recognised and enforced in an EU country after Brexit are advised to contact the Reciprocal Enforcement of Maintenance Orders (REMO) unit as soon as possible and to speak to a local lawyer.
