ANK stands out as one of the few law firms with a specialized focus on child custody matters, particularly in the context of cross-border issues. This pertains to situations where a child is taken from their home jurisdiction by one parent, triggering complex transnational legal disputes.
Our team has provided guidance to parties located abroad, assisting in the process of returning children to their original residential jurisdiction. Our lawyers have served as expert witnesses in highly contested cases within US courts and have also been involved in numerous cases related to securing custody of a child who has been relocated. These cases span across both the courts of initial jurisdiction in Pakistan and appellate courts, where the interpretation of the Guardian & Wards Act is harmonized with international standards and practices.
