Child Abduction

Vardags is a top family law firm, exclusively serving high net worth (HNW) and ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individuals.

Our specialist child law solicitors are led by our Head of Children, the widely respected Caroline Korah, who has years of experience handling parent child abduction proceedings (Hague and non-Hague). She is recognised for her specialist expertise by Reunite International, the leading UK charity dedicated to parent child abduction and the movement of children across international borders.

We can advise you if your child have been taken abroad without your consent, you are facing threats of your child being taken abroad, or you have taken your child abroad without their other parent’s consent.

HOW CAN VARDAGS HELP WITH YOUR CHILD ABDUCTION MATTER?

Disputes concerning child abduction are often complex and emotionally challenging. As experienced child and family law solicitors, we have years of experience guiding our clients through this process.

Parent child abduction refers to the unlawful removal of a child to another jurisdiction by one of their parents. This most commonly occurs following the divorce or separation of a child’s parents and can be devastating for the parent and child affected.

Where a parent has a child arrangements order stating that the child will live with them, they may take the child abroad for up to 28 days without the other parent’s permission. In all other cases, the permission of either the court, or everyone with parental responsibility of the child, must be sought before they can be taken abroad. Without permission, the removal of the child may be unlawful.

Our diligent team of child law solicitors can assist with all disputes related to parent child abduction, including situations where:

• Your child’s other parent has taken them abroad without your consent, or has kept them in another jurisdiction following an agreed holiday
• You believe your child’s other parent is planning to take them abroad without your consent or they have threatened to do so
• You have been accused of parent child abduction or threatened with child abduction proceedings
