Summary

Tables in this part of the book show how jurisdictions react to legal issues related to adult/child relationships and should, in principle, be understood in the following way:

— Horizontal lines correspond to different aspects of the legal issue the table concerns and vertical columns correspond to reviewed jurisdictions;

— Several columns may be grouped together to indicate that a larger group of jurisdictions share a globally similar approach to the legal issue at stake;

— Some jurisdictions are in italics, indicating that they are a specifi c type of jurisdiction;

— Inside the tables, the shading of the cells indicates two things:

• As a rule, when the same shading is used, this means that identical or similar legal solutions are applied;

• As a rule, darker shading indicates a lower level of recognition and protection of relationships whereas lighter shading indicates a higher level of recognition and protection of relationships.

It should be mentioned that some of the tables slightly depart from this model as it will appear from the context or the explanations surrounding them.
