International Family Law

Minnesota's International Family Law Firm

International divorce and child custody cases often involve complex questions of jurisdiction, service, and enforcement, and may include the issue of parental child abduction (or prevention of parental child abduction) or wrongful retention of a minor child in a foreign state or country.
