Our services
Child abduction, particularly international cases, is a serious and distressing matter. Whether a child has been taken abroad without the necessary consent or you face accusations of abduction, immediate and expert legal intervention is crucial.
Our family lawyers, with recognised specialisation in international child abduction, navigate the intricacies of this challenging area. We understand the complexities involved, including various international treaties and laws that differ based on the child’s habitual residence and the country involved.
The key treaty in child abduction law is the Hague Convention 1980, but not all countries are members, adding layers of complexity to cases involving non-Hague Convention countries. Post-Brexit changes also impact this area of law, especially regarding EU member states.
Our consultant solicitor, Dorota Beange, brings extensive experience in providing robust representation in these sensitive cases. We prioritise the child’s welfare and work diligently to resolve the situation with the utmost care and legal expertise.
If you are concerned about the risk of child abduction or are currently facing such a situation, it is vital to seek specialised legal advice immediately. Our team is prepared to offer the guidance and support needed to navigate these challenging circumstances.
