Working on Hague Convention Cases Involving Domestic Violence
Lawyers who have served as counsel on Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction cases involving domestic violence can be valuable resources for other attorneys who are working on these types of cases. Anecdotal stories of experiences during the legal process working with the victim and child, the petitioner, the Central Authority, judges and advocates can help other lawyers to frame the issue of domestic violence after a petition for removal is filed. Attorneys who are willing to share briefs, legal decisions and other legal resources can also provide valuable guidance in these otherwise complex cases.
Please Contact the Hague Domestic Violence Project
If you are an attorney (or advocate) willing to share your experiences as counsel during a petition for removal under the Hague Convention, please contact The Hague Domestic Violence Project through this Web site. We would be happy to share your story with other attorneys or take your contact information if you are willing to consult briefly with other lawyers or represent women involved in Hague Convention cases.
Why this Project?
We are a team of individuals from various professional backgrounds who are dedicated to creating a comprehensive resource that will enable mothers, domestic violence advocates, attorneys and judges to better prepare themselves for Hague Convention cases in the United States' legal system.
