Understanding the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act

Although state laws govern divorce and various issues associated with divorce, questions regarding jurisdiction and whether or not state laws remain intact may arise. In controversies involving parents who live in different states, the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act helps decide jurisdiction. This act establishes guidelines regarding which state has jurisdiction in order to prevent two states from issuing two different custody orders, which may compete. If a prior order did not exist, jurisdiction will be given to the state that the child has resided in for the last six months. Of course, since exceptions do exist, it is important to get in touch with a highly experienced lawyer as soon as possible.

We Can Fight Against Child Abduction

Unfortunately, some international custody dispute cases involve child abductions, a condition that occurs when one parent take the child and flees from the country. If this happens, it is crucial to seek superior representation right away.

If you believe your ex-spouse may remove your child from the country, contact our team to help you:

  • Obtain an order for sole custody of your child
  • Ensure your child does not have a valid passport
  • Obtain an order that states your child cannot be removed from jurisdiction
  • Contact the United States Department of State to ensure your child is placed on he Children’s Passport Issuance Alert Program
