Parental Rights

International Child Custody Issues

If you are living abroad and seeking to assert or recover your custody rights regarding a child, there are laws in place that can be used to recover your child. Those same laws can be used to prevent the removal of a child from the United States to another country in violation of the custody rights of a parent living in the U.S. We represent clients in international child custody and visitation matters. Our work includes:

Recovering custody of children who have been brought to the U.S. in violation of custody orders
Protecting the custody rights of a parent and child living in the U.S.
Asserting visitation rights with a child living in the U.S. for parents who live abroad

Understanding Your Parental Rights

If someone wants custody of a child in the U.S., moving fast is critical to protect those rights. Waiting too long can make the legal fight much harder. Knowing the right steps right away can change everything and help keep the child’s best interests front and center. Time ticks like a ticking clock in these cases, so acting without delay makes all the difference. This info is especially useful for anyone who cares about securing custody and avoiding common legal traps. Keep reading to discover how to stay ahead and avoid costly mistakes.
