A long shot but hoping someone might know.
I'm trying to get around to doing a will and one of the issues on there is what will happen to DD if something should happen to both me and DP.
Background is I'm British and DP is Italian and we're resident in Italy. DD is dual nationality (or will be as soon as I sort her passport out). My problem is that should we not be around I don't want DD going to DP's family as a) they never bother with her and as a result DD doesn't know them and b)they all have dodgy parenting styles to say the least. I would much rather that she went to my family in the UK who see her a lot and who she adores. DP agrees with me as he admits his mum is loopy and his sister unreliable and can't cope with her own child who is often left with her mother. Also sister has a violent partner who she frequently goes back to.
How do we enforce this? Is there some kind of European ruling that covers dual nationality children or is it entirely subject to local law? I've tried asking locally and everyone seems to think that she'd have to stay in Italy. Is there any way of overruling this?
