Experienced Legal Counsel in Orlando for the Most Challenging Custody & Divorce Matters

Divorce and custody disputes are never simple or easy. These family law matters become substantially more complicated when other states or countries are involved. If a parent takes their child across state lines or to another country, local law enforcement is often of little help.

For international and interstate family law disputes, you need an attorney with specific know-how in dealing with these emotional and technically complex issues. You need The Marin Law Firm, P.A.

Call (407) 449-7804 or contact us online to discuss your international family law dispute.

Interstate & International Child Abduction

If your child is taken across state lines or across the world by their other parent, nothing is more important than getting your child back. A parent with visitation rights might resist bringing the child back as required. At The Marin Law Firm, P.A., we fight back.

Our Orlando attorneys know how to apply state, federal, and international laws and treaties to return children home. The federal Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act allows only one state to have jurisdiction in custody decisions. The Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act mandates states to enforce a child custody determination entered by a court of another state. More than 100 countries have pledged to follow the Hague Abduction Convention, which provides a legal framework for countries to promptly return abducted children to their country of habitual residence. 

Not every family law attorney has an extensive background in litigating international family law cases. At The Marin Law Firm, P.A., we have a deep understanding and background in international and interstate family law complications. Our team has successfully won the return of children taken to other states and countries.  

International Marriage & Divorce

Marriages commonly have global characteristics. Couples married in other countries routinely move together to the United States. Sometimes one of the spouses is a citizen of another country. Perhaps the spouses live for part of the year in different countries. 

What happens when an international couple wants to divorce? Which country has jurisdiction? What are the rights of the spouses?

The Marin Law Firm, P.A. has the answers. Whether you are initiating the international divorce or responding to a spouse’s petition, we can help you navigate the complex international, federal, and state laws that govern divorce, property division, child custody, and all other family law issues.
