February 11, 2019 at 11:14 pmHi, wanted to ask how long the hague convention applies? I read somewhere that it lasts until the child is 16 years old. Is that right? If my children would agree can I leave when my youngest is 16 without the father being able to “call us back”?

February 12, 2019 at 3:34 pmHi Lisa. The Hague Convention on Int. Child Abduction 1980 applies until the child is 16. However different countries may have their own laws on Child Abduction / Kidnapping so it’s always best to consult a local lawyer in your country before leaving with a child under 18 years. All the best!
