The Challenge:
Montverde Academy family. Children at school on international visas. Mother planning to relocate to Europe post-divorce with children. Father faced losing regular contact with kids.

Mary’s Strategy:
– Analyzed international custody jurisdiction issues
– Worked with international family law experts
– Developed creative custody arrangement respecting international considerations while protecting father’s relationship
– Negotiated settlement avoiding Hague Convention litigation

The Outcome
Children remained in Florida continuing at Montverde Academy. Mother allowed periodic extended visits to Europe (holidays, summer). Father retained primary timesharing during school year. Enforceable international provisions if mother relocated permanently.
