Best UAE Law Firm In Child Abduction Cases
In divorce cases involving children, the court generally issues orders regarding the living arrangements of the children. However, there have been many cases wherein one of the spouses is unhappy with the rulings of the court with regard to child custody, leading to the bereaved party taking drastic steps like abduction of the children from the other parent. Although extreme, this is not a rare occurrence and can be observed around the world.
How to choose the best family lawyer in child abduction cases
Tackling child abduction requires a multi-faceted approach, involving laws of different countries and the employment of resources from different jurisdiction. Therefore, it is not sufficient to hire a legal expert who has a deep understanding of the theoretical aspects of the law, but rather, he must be adept at using the law as a foundation to initiate a course of actions that ultimately results in the safe return of the child to the parent. Although the UAE is not a signatory of the Hague convention on child abduction, the country has standing treaties with various countries on this matter. If a child is abducted from the UAE, a case must be initiated before the UAE court that has the jurisdiction to hear the matter. Once the court issues an order, the case may be tackled according to any treaty between the UAE and the country where the child was abducted to. The lawyer will also be required to initiate legal proceedings in the country where the child was taken to.
