Hague Convention child-return petitions
When a child is taken to, or kept in, another country without the other parent's consent, the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction may allow a parent to ask a court to order the child's return. We bring and defend these cases in U.S. federal court, and time matters.
How we can help
- Reviewing whether the Hague Convention applies to your case
- Return petitions in U.S. federal court
- Defending parents who receive a return petition
- Working with the Central Authorities of the U.S. and the other country
- Coordinating with family-court cases in Mexico when needed
