International Child Abduction 

International child abduction occurs when a child is unlawfully taken out of the country or retained in a foreign country, often after a vacation or visitation. Such incidents can have serious consequences for both the child and the parents. RettAdvokat has extensive experience handling these complex cases and provides specialized legal assistance to protect both the child’s and the parents’ rights, ensuring a safe return to the child’s country of residence. 

How We Can Help 

RettAdvokat has significant expertise in cases involving child abduction, representing parents in situations where children residing abroad are abducted to Norway, as well as when children residing in Norway are unlawfully taken out of the country without the other parent’s consent. Lawyer Kristine Aarre Hånes is listed by the Ministry of Justice as a lawyer with special competence in child abduction cases. 

 

We assist with contacting relevant authorities, provide advice on rights and obligations under the Hague Convention and other international regulations, and manage cases throughout the entire legal process in Norway. Additionally, we offer guidance to parents accused of child abduction to ensure that their rights are upheld. 

If necessary, we can assist with applications for free legal aid, provided the conditions are met. Child abduction can also lead to criminal consequences.  

Our primary goal is to act swiftly and effectively to ensure the child’s safety and restore stability for the entire family.
