This volume contains detailed information concerning the grounds for divorce in twenty-two European legal systems. The expert members of the Commission on European Family Law prepared comprehensive national reports on the basis of a detailed questionnaire on the grounds for divorce and the maintenance between former spouses (see EFL-series No. 3). In addition to these national reports (which are available on the website of the Commission on European Family Law), this book integrates all the given answers in order to provide an overview and a straightforward simultaneous comparison of the different solutions chosen within the national systems. On the basis of this comparative material the Commission on European Family Law will formulate Principles of European Family Law.
