What kind of behaviour by a parent bringing legal action under the Hague Convention for the return of minors to Israel would justify the successful defences of “consent” and “acquiescence” by the alleged “abducting parent” ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 30 May, 2022Examples of “consent” could be a letter or note in which the left-behind parent agrees to the other living in Israel with the children. There is no need for the letter or note to mention express consent to the other parent being the custodian. Acquiescence can be expressed by inaction.
