When Krista fled Switzerland with her son Cory to escape abuse from her husband, she knew he would file a Hague Petition against her to try to force her to take Cory back to Switzerland. Krista called us, safety planned with one of our case managers, Nicole, who was able to get her a legal consultation with an international family law attorney for a reduced fee.
Krista learned that she had grounds for a defense for a Hague petition. She fled home with Cory to her parents house. Due to the circumstances of her case, Krista was able to keep Cory at home in the USA!
The initial legal consultation for battered American mothers like Krista is critical to their success in being able to keep their children home in the USA when they flee abuse abroad. Contributions like yours make this possible. The entire team at AODVC wants to thank you for your support!
