My ex is accusing me of child abduction because I have taken our children abroad, what can I do?

If you have moved abroad with your children without your exs consent, you could be at risk of being accused of child abduction, which is both a criminal and civil offence. There are serious criminal proceedings that could involve you being extradited to be brought before the criminal court of England and Wales.

However, the seriousness of these consequences can be mitigated if you take swift action to contact your ex and resolve the situation. Whatever your reasons for taking your child abroad, the faster you act, the less likely the situation will result in onerous orders against you. In some limited circumstances, it may even be possible to apply to the court for retrospective permission to remove your children from the jurisdiction.

At Vardags, we have an experienced team of family and criminal lawyers who will be able to advise you on the best course of action. Although the consequences of child abduction can be very serious, we have the expertise to be able to resolve the situation rapidly and discreetly, so that there are no long-term consequences for yourself and your family.
