Comity Without Reciprocity: Orders Concerning International Child Custody & Ground Reality

The author writes "When a child has been wrongfully removed from the U.S., a parent would typically look to secure a custody/return order from a U.S. court. However, when enforcing that order in a foreign country, the harsh truth remains that foreign countries are sovereign entities and not required to recognize or defer to a U.S. family court's jurisdiction or custody decision."
