Description

This workshop will explore various aspects of interstate issues that arise in Article 10 cases.  We will start by looking at cases where our clients live in another state but a case is filed in New York and discuss New York’s exercise of emergency jurisdiction.  Next, we will look at the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC), including an overview of the ICPC and implementing regulations and case law, the process, when it applies and how to advocate for our clients.  Finally, we will discuss filing motions for our clients to leave the jurisdiction.
