Hague Convention (International Child Abduction) Cases

When Your Children Have Been Taken Abroad, We’ll Help With Our Experience in Hague Convention Custody Cases

Although most child custody cases involve transporting children across cities or states, in some instances, they can involve moving children across international borders. Paula J. Burnstein, P.C. has experience in dealing with cases in which children have been removed from the country without the other parent’s permission, resulting in a Hague Convention case. They are called this because international child custody cases are overseen by the Hague Convention on the civil aspects of international child abduction. We have extensive experience in these cases and can advocate for your children to return them home.

Guiding you Through the Hague Convention

It’s important to know that not all international child custody cases fall within the boundaries of the Hague Convention. With our two decades of experience, we help you understand if your case is classified as one of the Hague Convention cases. When dealing with international borders, we work toward a resolution that either returns your children home or establishes proper visitation here in the United States. As with all of our clients, we get to know your unique circumstances so we can craft a strategy that meets your specific needs.
