FL H0351

Creates section 45.022, Florida Statutes to regulate application of foreign law in family law cases, protecting constitutional rights and liberties of natural persons.

Defines "foreign law, legal code, or system" as any law outside the United States or its territories, excluding English common law and Native American tribal laws.

Voids any court ruling or decision based on foreign law that denies parties the same fundamental liberties, rights, and privileges guaranteed by the State Constitution or United States Constitution.

Voids contracts or venue provisions that choose foreign law or foreign forums if enforcement would violate fundamental constitutional rights, though allows voluntary waivers if strictly construed in favor of preserving those rights.

Applies only to family law proceedings under chapters 61 and 88 (marriage dissolution, support, time-sharing, child custody) and preserves religious organizations' right to adjudicate ecclesiastical matters and respects federal treaty obligations.
