Child abduction support  

An abduction happens when a parent takes a child who is younger than 16 years of age without the permission of the other parent. Parents can take their children out of the country without consent for a specific duration only if a Special Guardianship or Child Arrangement has been issued. The court will consider child abduction if the trip lasts more than 28 days. 

Wrongful retention applies if the child is retained in the foreign country that he/she visits when they go on an oversea trip with a parent. Even if the other parent gave their permission for the trip, they have a case if that trip is extended without consent. In these extremely complex and time-sensitive cases, MRG Solicitors can provide the support and legal guidance you require.
