      abstract = {"Ending a bad personal relationship is extremely  complicated when the relationship is transnational. Women  whose partners are abusive often turn to family members for  assistance. When this means leaving one nation for another  with one's children, Hague Convention (1980) international  treaties come into play. All too often, the mother is  charged with child abduction and forced to return the  children to an abusive father. Drawing on a series of  true-life stories, the authors reveal important dimensions  of domestic law, interpretations of children's best  interests, and the legal rationales required to ensure  safety for battered women and their children across  international boundaries"--Provided by publisher.},
