Child Custody Cases
Child Custody and Foreign Counties
When child custody matters cross international boundaries, the difficulties for parents seeking custody can become very complex. In order to address the matter successfully, it is crucial that you have a child custody lawyer that has experience in cases in which parents live in different counties, and how to manage the various laws and agreements that exist between the counties in question. Each foreign country has its own set of custody laws and procedures for resolving custody and a strong background in such cases is critical for a successful conclusion to this urgent matter. The legal team at the Law Offices of Brian D. Perskin has decades of experience in addressing such matters and urges you to contact the firm at once if you are facing such a difficult legal matter. Our firm provides legal services to clients in any of the following family law matters with parents in different countries:

Do You Have a Family Law Matter Involving Another Country?
A divorce or other family law action is often a difficult matter. Even when things seem friendly, matters may suddenly become contentious particularly when children are involved. Matters can be even more complicated when multiple countries are involved. Increasingly a family unit may be composed of spouses from different countries with the children even born in a third. The couple may also own property in several countries as well requiring a multi-national property settlement.
A crisis can occur if a spouse spirits a child away from his home country to reside elsewhere. To deal with these explosive situations, many countries including the United States entered into Hague Convention on Child Abduction to provide for the safe return of children to their home country.
Few attorneys are familiar with foreign laws or the Hague Convention and thus are ill prepared to advise when other countries are involved. Therefore if you have a family law matter of this nature, it is wise to contact a child custody attorney familiar with the laws and processes of other countries and the Hague Convention.
