How Attorneys and Advocates Can Assist Survivors with Interstate Custody and Relocation Cases

How Attorneys and Advocates Can Assist Survivors with Interstate Custody and Relocation Cases

Have domestic violence survivors ever asked you if they can leave the state with their children to escape from abuse? Have they ever asked you how to enforce a custody order if a perpetrator keeps a child in another state? In partnership with the National Center on Protection Orders and Full Faith and Credit, the Legal Resource Center on Violence Against Women (LRC) will teach attorneys about interstate custody and domestic violence laws and practice. The session will provide participants with an overview of the services available from the LRC and introduce them to the legal issues involved when survivors cross state or tribal lines with their children. Participants will learn about the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) and related laws.

This project was supported by Grant No. 15JOVW-23-GK-05133-MUMU awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice. The opinions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed in this publication/program/exhibition are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women.
