In this episode of Beyond Borders, Antonia Marran and Susan Warda turn their focus to family law matters involving Australia and Turkey, exploring the legal, cultural and practical challenges faced by families whose lives span both jurisdictions.  They are joined by leading Turkish family law expert and Fellow of the International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL), Mert Yalcin of Yalcin & Toygar.

Key differences between the Australian family law framework and the Turkish Civil Code
How family law proceedings are approached and determined in each jurisdiction
International child abduction and the Hague Convention, including how it operates in Australia vs Turkey, practical enforcement and common pitfalls in cross-border child matters
Cross-border parenting disputes and international relocation risks
Recognition and enforcement of parenting orders
Marriage, divorce and property settlement issues across jurisdictions
