Family law belongs to the civil law and interFamily, interfamily law belongs to the civil law and inter alia deals with the law regulations of marriage, divorce, child custody, child adoption, and inheritance. (All About Law:2016). However, these law regulations greatly differ among the EU Member States. Therefore, problems arise when the respective parties are not living in the same country or do not have the same citizenship. In this case, it may not be clear which country’s court should become active, which country’s laws should be applied and how the decisions made in one country can be implemented in another. A solution to this problem would be an intervention by the EU, as a supranational organisation. The problem with that, however, is that the EU is only allowed to intervene where certain treaties give it the authority and competence to do so. The EU has no competence to make laws in relation to divorce, child adoption and last will. (Citizen Information Board:2013). To examine the opinion that EU citizens have on various questions related to international Family Lawfamily law, and more specifically to the three areas the EU has no competencescompetencies in, a survey was conducted by the European Commission.
