Before attempting to initiate any child custody proceedings, it would be in your best interest to consult with a skilled international family law attorney. There are many unique challenges to overcome while working with international laws, and an attorney with this type of experience will know exactly what you need to do to succeed with custody arrangements.
To initiate a custody court order:
- If you are married, file for divorce from your spouse; or
- If you are unmarried, file a petition for child support and custody which may require a paternity action.
To enforce custody orders you already have:
- hire a family lawyer to show how the other parent violated the orders to have the other parent punished by the law with fines or jail time for contempt of court.
