The Hague Convention is a treaty that facilitates cooperation between signatory countries on international divorce and child abduction. If your child is taken without your consent to another country, our Hague convention attorneys will ensure your child returns back to his/her home country lawfully. Once your hold is back, an appropriate court in the country will issue a child custody order as per the laws of that country. Jos Family Law is amongst the select law firms in California that practices international family law.
Our firm represents couples from different nations, parents whose children have been unlawfully removed from Hague Service Convention countries, and those nations that aren’t parties to the Hague Convention. We also represent clients in defending against the Hague Convention and preventing their children from returning to another signatory or non-signatory country.
How can our Hague Convention Lawyers Help?
The law offices of Jos Family Law have significant experience in international divorce and child custody cases. If your child is abducted to another country that is a signatory of the Hague Convention, we will take immediate action to return your child back to California.
Our Hague Convention lawyer Orange County will send a formal request to the US State Department, which will then send a formal request to the central authority of the other country. While there may be diplomatic delays, our attorneys will continuously follow up and work diligently to secure the return of your child.
Our Hague Convention legal services include:
- Child Custody
- Child Abduction
- Divorce
- Legal Separation
- International Asset Division
- Spousal Support
Our firm has a robust relationship with family law firms in multiple countries. If the request is challenged by the other parent, we will work with the law firm of that country to bring your child back to California.
We will also take appropriate action in a local California court to secure your child’s custody rights. Call (714) 733-7066 or send an email to [email protected] to learn more about your rights under the Hague Convention.
