Georges analysis of relocation law in England and New Zealand will be of benefit to practitioners in both jurisdictions, as well as in countries with similar family law systems. His incorporation of interviews with 22 practitioners in each country highlights the fundamental divergences of informed opinion on this fraught issue, at a time when it has been estimated that in 2010 there were 215 million international migrants annually, with that number typically increasing by around 10% every five years. Relocation Disputes is tightly and readably constructed. It is well researched and thoughtfully argued. Georges modest proposals to find both a rapprochement between English and New Zealand law, and a middle road that fairly addresses the fundamental issues, deserve careful consideration. His research and data collection constitute a welcome and valuable contribution to scholarly analysis of issues in this fundamentally important area of family law. Relocation Disputes can be warmly recommended for all modern family law practitioners with an interest in the law, practice and policies relating to the post-separation life of families. -- Ian Freckelton QC * New Zealand Family Law Journal * This is an interesting and useful book. -- Dorothea Gartland * Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law * Dr Rob George is part of a small coterie of researchers around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, who have been looking over the past decade or so, in longitudinal studies, of the impact on children and parents of relocation. It is therefore highly appropriate in his latest publication that he looks at relocation in England and New Zealand and the reality of relocation in law and practice in these two jurisdictions. Dr Rob George, through his research, shows in interviews how these complex cases affect those directly involved in the relocation process. He provides fresh insight into the wider issues affecting families who have gone through the relocation process. His findings will assist all family practitioners and family court judges in the way they approach these hugely difficult cases. -- Ann Thomas * Family Law, July 2014 *
