Fighting International Child Abduction
One of the most stressful situations for any divorced or separated parent is likely the thought of losing access to his or her children.

Known for being strategic in protecting their clients, they will take every necessary step to reunite you with your children.
Understanding The Hague Convention And Your Rights
The Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, also known as The Hague Convention, is an international treaty governing child custody across international borders. Canada is a signatory of this treaty, and its provisions have been adopted into Ontario Law.
The Hague Convention was made to address custody issues in the country the child normally resides in. That means if your former partner took your child out of the country, the treaty would call for the cooperation between countries to ensure the immediate return of the child to Canada.
