My ex-wife has relocated with our 3 minor children to the US, without my knowledge. Can I file Hage Convention proceedings against her for the return of the minors to Israel?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 16 February, 2025Yes! According to the Israeli Law you are still the natural guardian of your minor children’ despite divorcing their mother, and although she is their custodian. The Hague Convention will be applicable if there is a breach of your visitation rights because of the abductions of your minor children abroad. The Convention is very efficient in returning abducted minors to their Country of habitual residence (here- Israel).
