Parental Rights

Parental rights and responsibilities extend beyond national borders.

If you are living abroad and seeking to assert or recover your custody rights regarding a child living in New York or another state, there are laws in place that can be used to recover your child. Those same laws can be used to prevent the removal of a child from the United States to another country in violation of the custody rights of a parent living in the U.S.

I represent clients in international child custody and visitation matters. My work includes:

• Recovering custody of children who have been brought to the U.S. in violation of custody orders
• Protecting the custody rights of a parent and child living in the U.S.
• Asserting visitation rights with a child living in the U.S. for parents who live abroad

I have practiced as a family law attorney of client’s existing site for over 20 years. During that time, I have represented a number of clients in matters involving international custody, child abduction and Hague Convention cases. My firm represents parents and works with family law attorneys from other nations in matters involving parental rights.

If you are a parent who is seeking child custody rights to a child in the U.S., you need to act quickly to assert your rights. Delay in this effort can put you at legal disadvantage.

My firm will undertake a comprehensive effort – first to locate your child if necessary, and then to develop and act upon a legal strategy designed to assert your parental rights and achieve your goals.
