International Child Abduction Under The Hague Convention
Fred A. Joshua possesses extensive experience in navigating international child custody disputes within Illinois and the U.S. Federal Courts in Illinois. We're well-versed in The Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and the International Child Abduction Remedies Act (ICARA), which empower parents to seek the return of their child to their habitual residence.
What Is The Hague Convention?
In contentious divorce scenarios, a parent may unlawfully relocate their child to another country, triggering a complex legal process. The Hague Convention is a treaty ratified by over 90 countries, including the United States, to address such situations. It aims to uphold child custody agreements, prevent international abductions, and facilitate the return of abducted children to their rightful custody.
