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.
