Below is an example of a case of a Client of the Law Firm “Prykhodko and Partners” regarding the procedure for the return of a child by the Convention on Civil Legal Aspects of International Child Abduction.
Situation:
Before contacting our law firm, the conflict between him and his wife escalated in the family of our Client. One day, the Client informed his wife that he would be visiting his mother in another city for a few days. Upon returning home, the Client found that his wife and their daughter were not at home. The Client’s wife stopped communicating, her phone number was disconnected, and the Client was blacklisted in messengers.
Problematic moments:
Missing: The client was faced with the unknown whereabouts of his wife and daughter, which caused him significant anxiety and stress.
Violation of the right to communicate with the child: The client is deprived of the opportunity to communicate with his daughter because his wife forbids such communication.
Strategy:
Seeking help from international organizations: The lawyer practicing family law discussed with the Client all possible aspects of the return of the child, including the possibility of seeking help from international organizations specialized in solving cases of international child abduction.
It is also important to note that our team is always sensitive to the psychological aspect of the case.
Progress:
- Initial contact and consultation: The client asked our company for help in returning a child who was illegally taken away by his ex-wife. Our lawyers conducted a detailed consultation on his rights and possible actions, taking into account international norms.
- Collection of evidence: Our company has carried out a thorough collection of evidence, including testimony, documents, and evidence of extra-territorial custody of the child.
- Submission of application: Based on the collected evidence, we have submitted an Application to the competent authority for the return of the child by the Child Abduction Convention. In the Application, we set out the facts and arguments that confirm the illegal actions of the mother regarding the removal and maintenance of the child. Our lawyers represented the father’s interests at all stages of the process. We systematically proved that the child should be returned to the father by the Convention and the laws of Ukraine.
- Result: The case is still under consideration, at the stage of communication between the relevant central authorities of Ukraine and a foreign state. All actions are taken to find the child and return home, including cooperation with law enforcement agencies, use of international mechanisms, appeals to consular offices, and other interested parties.
