Child Custody Law

Times of change often precipitate a divorce. The stress of a new job or out-of-state move is sometimes the final straw. What happens if a parent moves back to a home state, then decides to file for divorce? What is the other parent remains at a work station in another state or overseas?

Child custody law cases in these scenarios can become very confusing. International, Federal, and state statutes have been adopted to address these emotionally charged disputes, including:

• The Hague Convention
• Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) / Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA)
• Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act (PKPA)
• Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act (SSRA)

At the Clement Law Center our interstate and international custody lawyers can interpret these laws and offers legal guidance to parents.
