International Divorce & Child Custody Disputes
When parents remove children from the United States or refuse to return children to their home country after a trip, complex international custody laws govern each parent's legal rights.
The Hague Convention is an international treaty governing child custody. Countries that are convention signatories are required to honor valid child custody orders and return children to their rightful country of residence. However, not every country is a party to the convention. In these cases, the laws of the U.S. and the foreign country must be considered and alternative remedies must be pursued.
At The Law Offices of Mark R. Hinshaw, our Des Moines family lawyers are well-versed in the complexities of international law. Additionally, Attorney Hinshaw is on the International Family Law committee with the American Bar Association. We help parents enforce their custody orders and contest custody when their children's health and safety are being compromised.
