International Child Abduction
Many differences and problems may happen between couples, but problems between a couple from different nationalities will happen for sure, in most of cases, it’s due to the different affiliation, cultural background, and sometimes religious affiliation,…etc. And in that case, the couple will have to work on their problems immediately, otherwise it will cause very serious problems that will be hard to resolve.
One of the most serious problems in this case is when one party abducts the child and change his place to hide from the other and, unfortunately, this problem has become prevalent in many countries.
The international community provided many agreements to solve this problem, one of the most important agreements, The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction deals primarily with children who are wrongfully removed from one jurisdiction to another or who are retained outside the country of their habitual residence. That convention sets out the law and procedure that should be followed to ensure the immediate return of the children to the jurisdiction of their habitual residence.
Nigeria signed this Convention in October 25, 1980.
That convention sets out the law and procedure that should be followed to ensure the immediate return of the children to the jurisdiction of their habitual residence.
It is crucial that anyone wishing to move their children or seeking the return of their children from one country to another, needs to obtain advice from a specialist in child abduction law. It is not sufficient to seek advice from a general family lawyer, who may not be familiar with this fast evolving area of law, where a wrong step can have far reaching consequences. Let this be a little tip from us to you.
We work in three branches we try to solve your problem so friendly by negotiating with the other party. We have our way in negotiation.
We work with justices to take order make custody for mother and if the other party refuses to observe we move a criminal case against him.
We work with police to observance this orders and we use everything to help police in observance like take orders from office of the attorney general to following calls.
