This guide was produced by Kilpatrick Stockton, LLP, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). It provides information for attorneys representing parents in Hague Abduction Convention (Convention) cases in the United States.
At the time of its publication, NCMEC handled incoming abduction cases. On April 1, 2008, the Department of State resumed handling incoming Convention cases.
