Currently, the EU Regulations affecting cross-border family life cover almost all the aspects of the relationships between adults in a formalized relationship: from separation and divorce (Reg. 1259/2010), to the patrimonial effects (of the relationship itself and its breakdown; Regs. 2016/1103 and 2016/1104), to maintenance obligations (Reg. 4/2009), and finally, for some aspects, to successions (Reg. 650/2012). For each aspect, specific choice-of-law rules are envisaged. The present study wishes to focus on one particular approach adopted in all these regulations, ie the flexibility of the conflict rule.
