The Hague Domestic Violence Project

The Hague Domestic Violence Project is now staffed by the American Bar Association's Commission on Domestic & Sexual Violence. Our website has moved to the American Bar Association's website.

The HagueDV Project continues to provide resources for attorneys representing respondents in Hague Convention cases in the United States and judges hearing these cases.  Please note, this project does not provide legal advice. 

If you are contacting us about a child abduction case in the U.S. courts, it is important that you speak to an attorney. For domestic violence and legal resources please visit our website above or visit the website for Pathways to Safety International.

If you are represented by an attorney or are working with a domestic violence victim advocate, our Practice Guide is available from the ABA on our website. Have your attorney or advocate request a copy of the Practice Guide using the form on the website. 

If you are e-mailing about a case where a child or children were removed from the United States please visit the U.S. Department of State's website on abduction from the United States.  

For additional information about international child abduction visit the State Department's website.
