International family law lawyers may help clients who wish to transfer with a toddler to a distant jurisdiction or wish to prevent the opposite parent from doing so. Counsel's representation might come in the form advising or procuring advice pertaining to the other parent's ability to uphold and exercise legal right within the foreign country. A foreign country might retain international counsel to come up with evidence putting forth that foreign parents are powerless to have a child's return.
This might include proof establishing that foreign courts won't enforce foreign visitation orders; that in that country the parent customarily gets sole custody; that this country isn't a party to a particular Convention. These situations are just part of the many conflicting rules when two foreign laws come into play. Thus, it can be said that an expert is really needed for this.
