Hague Convention – Wrongful Removal and Retention of a Child

The 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an international treaty that protects children’s rights in cases of wrongful removal or retention across international borders.

What does "wrongful removal" mean?

This occurs when a child is taken to another country without the consent of a parent or legal guardian, or is retained in a country without permission.

Our legal services include:

• Preparation of applications for the return of the child;
• Gathering documentation and preparing legal arguments based on the Convention;
• Contact with the central authority of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia;
• Representation in district and appellate courts;
• Protection of the child’s best interests at every stage of the process;
• Possible negotiations with the other party regarding the child care plan.

Our team ensures compliance with international standards and protects your rights in the matter of the child’s return.
