The shock of returning home to discover that your partner has left you, and taken the children to another country with the possibility you will never see them again is barely describable. It is no less shocking to have sent your children abroad for an agreed visit and then receive a call from your partner indicating that the children will not be returned. This is what international parental child abduction/wrongful retention is about. Lets fight it. Lets put an end to it. |
The problem statement given below originally formulated by PACT (Parents and Abducted Children Together) has been modified to reflect Non-Convention
country aspects:-
Overview
A married couple of different or same nationalities settled overseas have a child. The marriage fails. One of the
parents takes the child back to his or her home country, without informing the other parent. Sometimes the parent
takes the child overseas under the pretext of a holiday and is subsequently retained there. The consequence:
tragedy for the left-behind parent and tragedy for the child, with long-term psychological damage for both. This story
has been repeated in country after country, year after year.
Parental Child Abduction
Globalisation and the growth of international travel have led to a sharp increase in the number of trans-national
marriages and where married couples leave their country of origin to settle down in another country. These
marriages break down like any other. When they do, a decision has to be made about where and with whom the child
lives. This can be bitter and contentious. It is worse when parents of different nationality are involved. And this can
lead to cross border abductions. Children are the victims. Child abduction by one of two warring parents is far too
common within countries. Now, it is a growing problem between countries.
Every country has its own judicial system. Custody orders made in one country are not necessarily recognised in
another. Judicial co-operation does not always work. When children are taken to another country, the chances of
recovering them can be slim.
An international treaty, called the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, 1980 was
designed to put a stop to this and to protect children. But, the Hague Convention does not work as well as it should.
Not every country has signed it. And some countries implement it better than others.
Unfortunately there are many countries like India, for example, that are not signatories to the Hague Convention.
When children are taken to a non-Convention country the chances of having them returned to their habitual place of
residence are practically zero.
As a result, more and more children are being torn from their homes. This demands urgent international action.
Nordus Recovery's main objective is to do something about this.
