Need legal advice about child abduction
We are able to assist you in navigating the legal process to recover a child should they have been wrongfully removed from their State or Country of residence.
Such legal process may consist of seeking Recovery Orders from the Federal Circuit Court of Australia or Family Court of Australia or lodging an Application with the Central Authority pursuant to the Hague Convention on the civil aspects of international child abduction.
In circumstances where a child has been wrongfully removed from Australia, that is without the consent of the other parent, or a child from overseas has been wrongfully retained in Australia, we can provide advice regarding a parent’s rights and obligations pursuant to the Family Law (Child Abduction Convention) Regulations 1986, whether a parent is the parent with whom the child is living or the parent who is seeking the return of the child.
