The Hague Convention on International Child Abduction: An Introduction for Advocates and Attorneys Working With Survivors of Domestic Violence.

Description

Survivors of domestic violence who cross international borders with their children to flee abuse can find themselves in complex legal situations that often culminate in survivors needing to defend themselves in cases filed under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (the “Hague Convention”). This Briefing will provide an overview of the Hague Convention and its federal implementing legislation. It will describe the role of the State Department in these cases, the basic framework of Hague litigation in the U.S., and strategic issues to consider when representing survivors in a Hague case.
