Navigating International Child Custody Matters
In cases involving international child custody, the Hague Convention often governs the legal proceedings.
Signatory countries to the Hague Convention commit to:
- Respecting custody and access rights under the laws of each country
- Ensuring the prompt return of children who have been wrongfully retained or removed
- Implementing treaty procedures efficiently and effectively
According to the Hague Convention, the removal of a child is considered wrongful if:
- Custodial rights were being exercised or could have been exercised at the time of removal
- The removal violated the rights of a person or entity under the laws of the country where the child was previously residing
The level of cooperation among signatory countries under the Hague Convention may vary.
