It's something every family lawyer should understand: how the Hague Convention works in practice. In an increasingly internationalized area of the law, family lawyers and other divorce professionals are encountering more clients who fear that their children may be abducted, who worry about allowing their children to travel overseas, or are contemplating international marriage or divorce. The Hague Abduction Convention is written by Jeremy D. Morley, who has enormous experience counseling clients and fellow practitioners as to international family law matters globally, as well as lecturing on international child custody law to audiences around the world. This clearly written, accessible, and pertinent guide to the subject: * Explains how the Hague Convention works in both theory and practice * Explores the relationship between this act, the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) and foreign child custody laws * Covers all critical topics ranging from rights custody to exceptions such as "one-year-and-settled" and "grave risk of harm" to international relocations * And more, including a CD-ROM with time saving reference materials
