The firm has a wide range of experience in international child custody and support. It has had the fortune of having been engaged in cases involving the selective application of the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspect of International Child Abduction in multi state and multi nationality situations, involving either the Philippines as the country of destination or a Filipino national as the abductor or the child involved. These cases have presented complicated conflicts of laws issues which remain to be gray areas in Philippine Family Law.

Locally, the firm has seen to trial cases involving very complicated issues of jurisdicition and other substantive matters impinging on the application of R.A. 9262, otherwise known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children, the principal and anciliary remedies thereof as they interplay with the child custody provisions of the Civil Code and the circulars of the
Supreme Court on child custody, protection orders, and issuance of the writ of habeas corpus.
