International Child Abduction & Relocation

Home / Where should I bring an action for the return of my 17 year old son to Australia ? He went to Israel on holiday with his Israeli-born father but neither of them has returned. His father (my “ex”) has custody but I see my son several times a week. I miss him and want him back.

Petitions for the return of children over the age of 16 who were allegedly abducted to Israel should be made to the Supreme Court of Justice in Jerusalem, regardless of the country they live in.
