		<description><![CDATA[My first thoughts on Brexit news today was sympathy for parents whose children have been removed to other European countries following leave to remove decisions. The decision last night will be causing them uncertainty and anxiety. One of the the best EU regulations from a family law perspective  (or bureaucracy that was forced upon us&#8230;]]></description>
