International Child Abduction Lawyers In Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania International Child Custody Attorney With Offices in Bensalem, Allentown, Quakertown, Doylestown, Philadelphia and Willow Grove

International parental child abduction is the removal or detention of a child across an international border by a parent, or by a person who has parental responsibility, which is either in contempt of a court order or without the consent of the other parent or person who has parental responsibility.

The Hague Convention is designed to help secure the safety of abducted children. It requires participating countries to find and return children who have been wrongfully removed by one parent from their country of habitual residence. It is extremely important to obtain an international child custody lawyer with the experience to get your family back home.

IMPORTANT! The US Department of State issues very specific guidelines concerning the Hague Convention, including assistance for left-behind parents of children taken to countries not party to the Hague Abduction Convention.
