Dylla Family Law has helped families across borders: relocation cases, custody disputes involving dual citizenship, prior custody orders, modifications, enforcement, abduction prevention, and the return of children to their home country, and international adoptions.    

If you are booking an initial consultation for a case with international or inter-state dimensions, please let us know when requesting a consultation. 

There are two main aspects to these cases involving different states / countries.  The best interests of the child are still paramount, but jurisdictional questions are always first. Additionally, enforcing orders from other states or countries can pose problems.

Dylla Family Law can speak to you fluently in french and we have successfully navigated all of these situations. If you are pre-decree, one of the most important choices is determining which jurisdiction will hear the case.  Post-decree cases include matters of filing foreign or out-of-state decrees, enforcement, modifications, parental relocations and the possibilities of child abduction.

Looking more closely at some of these issues, child abuse or neglect is one of the most serious and one that presents myriad challenges.
