We understand how overwhelming and painful international parental abduction cases are. We are here to help get your child back.

What Is International Parental Abduction?

International parental abduction is when one parent takes a child to another country without the other parent’s permission or against a court order. These cases are challenging because they involve U.S. laws and the country the children were taken to.

Many countries, including the United States, use the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction when handling these cases. The treaty aims to return children to their home country and protect their custody rights. 

However, not all countries are part of the Hague Convention, which can make it more complicated to bring your kids home.
