Teleconference Training

Using Jurisdictional Statutes to Assist Domestic Violence Survivors:  Beyond the Basics

 The training will build upon the foundation established by the LRC’s previous training programs, both telephonic and in-person, which provided participants with an overview of the various federal and state laws that govern interstate custody cases.  The training is appropriate for attorneys who have participated in a previous LRC training or who have some experience with interstate custody cases.  Training topics have been selected based upon participants’ questions from previous trainings and specific training requests that the LRC has received.  Among other topics, the LRC intends to address the following: strategies for advising clients who are contemplating leaving a jurisdiction with their children; the relationship between civil protection orders that include custody provisions and custody orders that have been issued as part of a custody or divorce case; recent and emerging trends in practice and case law; and the basis for continuing exclusive jurisdiction in a custody case under federal or state law.  Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions during the presentation. 

Please note that the training topics are the same as those covered by the LRC’s advanced training in April, 2012.
