This article considers transnational kin work in support of parents separated from their children by a nation state border. Three parents who have been involved in transnational child custody and access disputes participated in the research: a mother in Egypt, a father in Morocco and a mother in The Netherlands. Each of these parents has had to deal with competing legal rules and incompatible popular discourses in unfamiliar legal, diplomatic and bureaucratic environments. Their accounts of the practical and emotional assistance they have received from their families during these crises add to existing work on transnational kin work. Successful transfers of capital from kin firstly enables separated parents to engage in the dispute. Kin work in the form of capital transfers may ultimately also establish some parents’ independence from family support, leading to recognition of their symbolic status in the transnational dispute and giving them a degree of ‘world making’ power.
