International Child Abduction

International child abduction refers to the act of removing a child from their country of residence without the consent of their legal guardians or in violation of custody agreements. This often occurs during custody disputes between parents who live in different countries. Such situations can lead to complex legal challenges, as different countries have varying laws regarding custody and child protection. The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an international treaty that aims to facilitate the swift return of abducted children to their home countries to ensure their welfare and uphold custody rights.
