Worried About International Child Abduction During Divorce?
Act Now – Before It’s Too Late, or the Threat Becomes Reality
In divorce cases where one parent holds foreign citizenship, frequently travels abroad, or talks about “starting over” in another country – the risk of child abduction is real.
When a parent moves a child from one country to another without the other parent’s consent – it’s not just a personal crisis, it’s a serious legal violation under the Hague Convention.
That’s why it’s called International Child Abduction.
Attorney Hagit Lev, an expert in family and international law, has been guiding Israeli and foreign parents for over 25 years in resolving cross-border custody disputes and child abduction cases to and from Israel – with proven success.
🛑 How Can You Prevent Child Abduction?
✔️ Immediate Exit Order for the Minor/s:
In cases of clear concern, an emergency exit ban can be requested ex parte – sometimes issued within hours.
✔️ Establishing an Imminent Threat:
We build a solid case based on foreign citizenship, flight tickets, documents, threatening statements, and foreign ties – and present a sharp legal argument to the court.
✔️ Personal Guidance and Real-Time Strategy:
Prevention is critical – but not always enough. I provide a full action plan, from securing exit bans to filing a Hague Convention petition, all tailored to your case.
⚖️ What If the Abduction Already Happened?
📍 Act Immediately to Recover the Child:
Whether your child was taken from Israel or into Israel, urgent legal steps must be taken – in Israel or in the foreign jurisdiction – to bring them back.
📍 File a Petition Under the Hague Convention:
The Hague Convention is designed to return abducted children to their country of habitual residence. I represent parents in these proceedings both in Israeli courts and abroad.
📍 Activate International Channels:
I work closely with the International Department of the State Attorney’s Office, the Hague Convention Unit, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – ensuring that the legal effort is backed by diplomatic coordination when needed.
