Attorney for Enforcement of Court Orders in Other Countries

Do You Need a Court Order Enforced?

It sometimes occurs that court orders need to be enforced in other countries. In the area of family law this can occur when a non-custodial spouse takes a child to another country and refuses to return the child. It then becomes necessary to obtain the assistance of the other country to safely return the child. Another instance calling for reach into another country concerns child support. The non-custodial parent refuses to pay child support. The other country's help is needed to collect the money. If you are in this situation, you should be aware that the normal attorney's competence is limited to working within his own jurisdiction. It is therefore necessary to call on the services of an attorney accustomed to working with court systems and enforcement agencies in other countries. You are therefore urged to contact a child custody lawyer experienced in foreign country enforcement.

Lawyer for Enforcement of Orders in Other Countries

Where a parent abducts a child and takes the child to another country, there are laws to help. Many countries including the United States came together several years ago and adopted the Hague Convention on Child Abduction. Under this convention countries agree to cooperate in returning children to their home country. An attorney may still have to go to the foreign country to present the child custody order. He will elicit from the court acceptance of the order and persuade the court to order local police to enforce it. Enforcement of child support orders in other countries also takes communication with foreign authorities. If there is hesitation or questions, foreign court action again may be required.
