This is a Practice Guide intended to assist attorneys and domestic violence victim advocates in their representation and work with battered respondents in cases under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. The purpose of this Guide is to address Hague Convention cases involving allegations of domestic violence. Specifically, it focuses on petitions filed in the United States for the return of a child located in the United States, in which the respondent (the “taking” or “abducting” parent) alleges abuse by the petitioner (the left-behind parent). To request a copy of the full Guide, please visit our website at haguedv.org.
