00:04
in cases where a child has been
00:07
kidnapped by a parent
00:09
or other other family member claiming a
00:11
right of custody or visitation
00:14
we work with clients to develop a plan
00:17
to recover the child and bring the child
00:19
back to their
00:21
home with their custodial parent
00:25
in interstate cases we work
00:28
frequently with the national center for
00:30
missing and exploited children and then
00:32
we also
00:34
enlist the services of law enforcement
00:37
and attorneys in the jurisdiction where
00:40
the child was taken or retained and so
00:42
depending on the specific circumstances
00:45
we’re going to develop a
00:47
plan to have the child returned
00:49
in international cases we’re oftentimes
00:52
looking at the hague convention on the
00:54
civil aspects of international
00:56
child abduction
00:58
that again evol
01:00
involves a team-based approach where we
01:03
use the international treaty to obtain
01:05
the return of the child and work with
01:07
foreign council
01:08
in the event that your case uh that your
01:11
child has been taken abroad we may play
01:14
more of a supportive role to develop the
01:16
plan and get the right people
01:19
to help with the case
01:20
if the child
01:22
is in the united states or in minnesota
01:25
from another jurisdiction then we
01:28
actually would complete the hague
01:30
process to have the child returned i do
01:33
want to add that in addition to dealing
01:35
with cases where children have been
01:38
removed or retained we also work with
01:40
child abduction prevention so if a
01:43
parent has a concern that a child might
01:45
be taken to another jurisdiction
01:48
we help
01:50
come up with preventative measures to
01:52
prevent that from happening
