UCCJEA, HAGUE, and PKPA – The alphabet of custody jurisdiction

On June 17, 2014, Rob Worster attended a Continuing Legal Education Course entitled, “UCCJEA, HAGUE, and PKPA – The alphabet of custody jurisdiction: what every attorney needs to know or review.” These abbreviations all concern the basic framework for dealing with interstate and international custody disputes. The course was presented by the Honorable Jane Roush, Fairfax County Circuit Court, Teena Grodner, Fairfax County J&DR District Court, as well as local attorneys Sandra Havrilak, Esq., Shirley Keisler, Esq., Christopher Malinowski, Esq., and Debra Powers, Esq. It was very well presented and yet another opportunity to stay current on domestic relations law while interacting with the local bar.
