LEGAL AND OTHER BITS OF LEGAL WISDOM

In this chapter, you will find a listing of lawyers who have been recommended to us as being knowledgeable of the Hague Treaty and who have litigated under the Treaty. We also list lawyers who have won cases for the return of a child when not under The Hague. Also we link to organizations that may help you better understand the legal systems and what is available to parents of missing and abducted children.

LEGAL, EUROPEAN LAW AND LEGISLATION

LEGISLATION

Laws that have been passed by the United States Congress that have a direct bearing on child abduction. Presidential orders, pending legislation and Congressional resolutions are listed.

LEGISLATION PENDING, But not quite there yet.

In this section we will attempt to keep you up to date on all new legislation being considered by the U. S. House of Representatives and the U. S. Senate (As well as selected State laws) that deal with missing and abducted children. Keep in mind that not all legislation becomes law. There are many good bills introduced in Congress dealing with missing and abducted children that never became law. If and when any of these bills become law, we will move them to our section on Legislation.

TESTIMONIES

Congressional Testimony of interest to all who deal with missing and abducted children.
