Return of Children

Return of Children refers to the legal process or agreement through which a child is restored to their original environment, typically in cases of wrongful retention or abduction across international borders. It is often governed by treaties like the Hague Convention, which aims to ensure children are returned promptly to their habitual residence when their custody has been unlawfully taken or retained. The process involves legal procedures to determine the child's best interests and to resolve disputes about custody or removal, prioritizing stability and the child's well-being while respecting international laws and agreements.
