Service Details

Child Abduction

This service is available across Croatia

Who Is This Service For?

This service is for individuals facing the harrowing ordeal of parental abduction of a child, where their child has been wrongfully removed from Croatia by the other parent. 

Such situations are sufficiently fraught already, of course, before attempting to navigate the complex legal terrain of international child abduction laws. 

 This service can assure such parents proficient legal assistance in Croatia, having appropriate regard for the nuances of the 1980 Hague Convention and the Brussels IIb Regulation. 

Our lawyers assist clients and help them to surmount legal hurdles and hasten the safe repatriation of their child.

Who Is This Service For?

Procedure

The process for recovering an abducted child is unfortunately extremely complex.

  1. The first step the lawyers will take will be to examine your case against the backdrop of the 1980 Hague Convention and Brussels IIB Regulation. The focal point is the habitual residence of the child pre-abduction. 
  2. Leveraging the Central Authorities in EU countries, we initiate the procedure to return the child, orchestrating a compelling case in the process. 
  3. The court, within six weeks from case registration, deliberates on the rights of custody and access, while ensuring the child, if capable, is heard. 
  4. Our navigation through these procedural steps seeks to accelerate the resolution, reuniting you with your child expeditiously.
