By Christlyn Moore
HAGUE CONVENTION APPLICATIONS.
A Hague Convention application may be made when a child is taken or retained across an international border, away from his or her habitual residence, without the consent of a parent who has rights of custody under the law of the habitual residence, if the two countries are parties to the Convention. T
The Convention permits that child must be promptly returned to the habitual residence unless the return will create a grave risk of harm to the child or another limited exception is established.
Trinidad and Tobago is a party to the Hague Abduction Convention and will provide assistance under this convention where is child has been removed to Trinidad and Tobago.
What matters most in Hague convention matters – whether as applicant or Respondent, is speed and evidence
Hague applications are intended to be completed within 6 weeks from the date of application and must be instituted ( with some exceptions) within a year of the removal of the child. As an applicant delay in making an application may lead to a credible claim that the eft behind parent as consented or acquiesced to the removal of the child. For the respondent parent facing a Hague Child abduction application, because if the speed with which the process will be determined, finding competent attorneys at the first opportunity is a must.
Parties facing or making a Hague convention application should come to Attorneys prepared to give a detailed history of matters including that parents exercise of his custody rights, evidence of child abuse or other risk factors , the age and maturity of the child and her position on being returned, whether there was consent to the taking. Clients can be expected to be asked to provide emails, text messages, affidavits from neighbours friends, and business associates, demonstration a parties conduct and intention . The rule here is that once you say it, find an independent document that supports it
Hague applications are also law intensive , raising matters of international law, treaty law and foreign law.
