→The Hague Convention on the abduction of children
The [http://www.hcch.net/index_en.php?act=conventions.text&cid=24 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction] says what steps a signatory country must take when someone has wrongfully taken a child into that country. The convention explains how someone from the departure country can make an application for an order in the destination country for the return of the child. It outlines the defences that can be made to applications like these, the different orders the court in the destination country can make, and the factors that court must consider in deciding whether to make those orders.
More information about the Hague Convention, including a list of signatory countries, can be found in the chapter [[Resolving Family Law Problems in Court]] in the section [[Enforcing Orders in Family Matters]].
