International
Child Custody Cases:
Handling Hague Convention Cases in U.S. Courts
Judge James D. Garbolino
Judge James D. Garbolino's book, International Child Custody Cases: Handling
Hague Convention Cases in U.S. Courts, provides judicial officers hearing
Hague Convention cases with a reference resource. Judge Garbolino has written
and lectured extensively on the Hague Convention in the United States and
Europe. In September, 2000, he attended an international conference on the
Hague Convention in Washington, D.C. as the chief U.S. delegate. In his
Foreword, Judge Garbolino says, 'In the short time the Hague Convention
has been in force in the United States, a substantial body of case law has
developed, providing foundation for application of the Convention."
The Hague Convention was adopted
to compel the expeditious return of children wrongfully removed from their
habitual residence. If you have an international custody case in your
court, having quick access to how U.S. courts have dealt with the myriad
legal as well as the diverse factual issues that can arise in child custody
litigation is critical.
