We believe their suffering can and should be PREVENTED.
90% of expat parents are unaware they will not be able to return home with their children legally unless the other parent or a local court gives permission
• Relationship breakdowns abroad are resulting in high conflict custody disputes over which country the child should live in
• In 99% of cases it’s the primary carer mother who is ‘stuck’ abroad and who wants or needs to go back to her home country
• 75% of ‘international child abductions’ under The Hague Convention involve a primary carer mother returning to her home country with her children
• After an ‘abduction’ the long-term consequences can be devastating for children: a high proportion will end up being separated from their primary carer
What is a Stuck Parent?
A stuck parent is a parent who is unable to lawfully return to live in the country they consider ‘home’ with their children after an international residence / custody dispute.
Stuck parents often struggle with issues such as loneliness, unemployment, language barriers, visa restrictions, lack of legal status.
