Parental Rights

If you are living abroad and seeking to assert or recover your custody rights regarding a child living in Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Indiana 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 you are a parent who is seeking child custody rights to a child in the U.S., you need to act quickly to assert your rights. Delay in this effort can put you at a legal disadvantage.The skilled lawyers at Stange Law Firm, PC, will undertake a comprehensive effort — first to locate your child if necessary, and then to develop and act upon a legal strategy designed to assert your parental rights and achieve your goals.We have written many articles on parental rights to help you understand the topic a little more: Do you have a plan for establishing parental rights in Missouri? and Parental rights are more than the right to pay for child support.

ABOUT

Full Service Child Custody Representation

Our child custody practice focuses on protecting the wellbeing of children and the rights of parents. We handle issues such as:
Visitation
Often called parenting time, visitation is the amount of time a noncustodial parent spends with his or her child. We can handle a broad spectrum of visitation matters.

Creating a parenting plan
Getting visitation rights means drafting a parenting plan that works. We can help.
