Laws Affecting Child Custody Disputes, Abduction & Relocation<\/h2>\n
Our family law attorneys<\/a> have experience helping parents who find themselves in a custody dispute involving more than one state or country. These disputes may arise after a parent crosses state lines or international borders with a child, intending to relocate. They may also be the result of a parent abducting a child or filing a lawsuit for custody in one state while the other parent is temporarily in another state or out of the country. In these and other difficult situations, it is important to be familiar with the laws governing interstate custody and international custody and visitation.<\/p>\n The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA), the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), and the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act (PKPA) are federal laws that help courts determine which state has the authority to make a custody decision when children and their parents do not all live in the same state. The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an international treaty that seeks to protect children from international abduction by a parent and provide for the safe return of children to their home country. The most common circumstances where the UCCJA, the UCCJEA, the PKPA, the Hague Convention treaty (or all four) apply are:<\/p>\n Florida families are among the most diverse and international in the United States. Married couples often come from two different countries and may have children born in other states or countries. One or both spouses may also have property or business interests in multiple foreign countries or reside in multiple residences in different states or countries. But while interstate and international divorce and custody cases are becoming increasingly common in Florida, few attorneys have experience with the international aspects of family law. Our attorneys work with the laws of other states and countries to effectively advise clients who have family law cases involving interstate and international issues.<\/p>\n If your divorce or custody concern crosses borders, our Orlando international family lawyers can effectively assist you, from choosing the best forum for filing a legal action to enforcing custody orders in another state to resolving issues regarding international treaties.
