Hi, 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”?

  Hi 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!
