Phoenix International Child Custody AttorneyDivorced and unmarried parents face unique challenges with raising their children. Each parent must take special care to financially and emotionally support the child. Long distances can make this challenging for the non-custodial parent. International distances can make it impossible. When either parent attempts to take the child(ren) to another country, it may be considered child abduction. These international child custody issues are governed by The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. When dealing with international child custody issues, it is critical to hire an attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable in international custody laws and who will work hard to preserve your interests as well as seek a solution that is in the best interests of the child. Paula J. Burnstein can help you understand how The Hague Convention is applicable in your case, and can represent you in seeking a reasonable solution. The Hague Convention: International Child Abduction and CustodyThe Hague Convention provides remedy for the left-behind parent when the other parent removes the child from his or her home country. Under The Hague Convention, the left-behind parent may: - Seek immediate return of the child to his or her home country; or
- Seek parenting time in the United States (or his or her home country if not the U.S.)
International child custody cases can be extremely emotionally charged. It takes a levelheaded lawyer who can evaluate the facts of the case and determine what strategy or solution is appropriate. It is critical for parents to understand that while it is heart wrenching to move forward while your child is living so far away, it can be devastatingly abrupt to remove your child from the parenting situation to which he or she has become accustomed. It is important to carefully pursue a solution that preserves your parenting rights and the best interests of your child.
