Using Jurisdictional Statutes to Assist Domestic Violence Survivors: Beyond
the Basics
This training will build upon the
foundation established by the LRC’s previous training programs, 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 are selected based upon participants’
questions from previous trainings and technical assistance requests. Among
other topics, the training will 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.
