International Child Abduction & Relocation

Home / I agreed to my wife visiting Israel with our children but she has not returned – and has told me she has no intention of doing so. When I threatened to bring child abduction proceedings against her she jeered, saying it was a waste of time as she had a signed document from me consenting to them being in Israel. I never signed any such document. How can I prove my case if I bring proceedings ?

The court will include this expert report in the evidence brought before it when making its decision
