Are you perplexed about how to handle a cross-border child custody, visitation, or child abduction case? Are you aware that the Department of State is a valuable resource for preventing and remedying international abduction cases?

It will also cover the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), which applies in interstate and international custody cases, and the Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act, which identifies abduction risk factors and numerous prevention measures.
