Begin Your International Case Assessment™

​

The First Strategic Step Toward International Protection

Complex cross-border child protection matters require more than immediate legal action. They require a structured evaluation of jurisdiction, evidence, procedure, and international viability before critical decisions are made.

​

The International Case Assessment™ is the mandatory first stage of the Marotta Method™ and the initial operational stage of the Marotta Workflow™.

​

It determines whether your matter has the legal, procedural, and evidentiary foundations necessary to support an effective international strategy.

​

The Engagement Process

Step 1 — International Case Assessment™

Fixed Fee: €220

​

The process begins with a structured strategic assessment of your case.

​

We evaluate:

• International legal dimension.
• Applicable jurisdictions and mechanisms.
• Evidentiary structure and vulnerabilities.
• Current procedural position.
• Risk of irreversible harm caused by delay.
• Strategic viability for future international action.

​

The assessment is designed for matters involving:

• International parental child abduction.
• Hague Convention proceedings.
• Cross-border custody disputes.
• Child protection concerns.
• ECHR, UN, or Inter-American human rights mechanisms.
• Potential institutional accountability.

​

​

Step 2 — Preliminary Strategic Assessment

Following the review, you receive a structured preliminary assessment identifying:

• Key legal and strategic issues.
• Procedural opportunities and obstacles.
• Jurisdictional considerations.
• Evidence-related concerns.
• Potential international pathways.
• Recommended next steps.

​

This stage determines whether the matter is suitable for further strategic development.

Step 3 — Strategic Development Under The Marotta Workflow™

Where international viability is identified, the matter may proceed through the Marotta Workflow™, including:

• Strategic Case Mapping.
• Evidence Architecture.
• Jurisdictional Coordination.
• Procedural Sequencing.
• Risk & Irreversibility Assessment.
• International Human Rights Integration.
• Long-Term Protection Planning.

​

Step 4 — International Strategic Representation

For matters requiring continued assistance, representation may include:

• International litigation strategy.
• Human rights mechanisms preparation.
• Coordination with local counsel.
• Institutional engagement.
• Strategic monitoring and long-term protection planning.

​

Why Begin With an Assessment?

International cases are often lost before international procedures begin.

​

The decisive factors are frequently determined at an earlier stage:

• Was the case properly structured?
• Was evidence preserved?
• Were jurisdictions coordinated?
• Were international remedies protected?
• Was delay allowed to create irreversible consequences?

​

The International Case Assessment™ exists to answer these questions before strategic opportunities are lost.

Legal Consultation
This session is for defined needs such as: isolated legal questions, live legal guidance, or clarification on a targeted strategic issue. Use this entry if your query is not about the overall international eligibility of a case.

This is appropriate when you require a second opinion.

• Issue-specific guidance.

• Procedural orientation.

• A strategic discussion of a defined problem.

This does not replace full case structuring when international viability is required.

Important Notice

The International Case Assessment™ and Legal Consultation services are separate professional services.

An assessment does not guarantee litigation, representation, or a specific legal outcome.

​

No lawyer-client relationship is established until a formal engagement agreement is executed. Due to the specialized nature of international child protection matters, informal legal advice is not provided through general inquiries.
