For example, one case of child abduction that we see often is when children who are living in Israel are taken by one of their parents abroad, often for a holiday or to visit family in another country.\u00a0 If a parent then decides that they will not return their child to Israel, where their current or former spouse lives, this can be considered child abduction.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, in order for this to be considered child abduction, moving the child has to violate the other parent or guardian\u2019s custody rights.\u00a0 This means, for example, that, a case where a father takes his children abroad without the agreement of the children\u2019s mother or guardian, is only considered abduction if the mother also shares custody of the child and she never agreed to let her children be taken abroad.\u00a0 This only applies if she has custody rights she has implemented prior to the children being taken; if she has visitation rights only, but she never uses them, then this will weaken her case for the return of the children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that if a parent or guardian who shares custody of the child agreed to their child\u2019s removal or retention before or after the event, the court may not order a return of the children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-27576 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/child-abduction-law-in-Israel-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Child abduction law in Israel\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/child-abduction-law-in-Israel-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/child-abduction-law-in-Israel-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/child-abduction-law-in-Israel-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/child-abduction-law-in-Israel-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><b>Conditions for Court Involvement<\/b><\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your child has been abducted, it is important to ensure that you take legal steps quickly.\u00a0 If over a year has passed since the child was taken from the country they resided previously, you can still make your case and have your children returned, but the parent in the country abroad can argue that the child is being uprooted from the new country.\u00a0 If a child is considered to be at risk in their home environment (for example, they faced domestic violence by a parent), then a court may not order the child\u2019s return. Additionally, if a child is older (generally a teenager), then a child\u2019s desires can be taken into account, and if they prefer not to return, the court can take this into consideration.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><b>This Series of Articles<\/b><\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article is one in a longer series on child abduction in Israel.\u00a0 For more information on what <a href=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/legal-procedure-for-child-abduction-in-israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">steps you should take<\/a> if your child is abducted, how to choose a <a href=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/child-abduction-lawyer-in-israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">child abduction lawyer<\/a>, and more, click on the relevant links.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><b>Contact Us<\/b><\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our law office addresses numerous legal issues, including child abduction law in Israel.\u00a0 For legal assistance, please contact Advocate Anat Levi who specializes in family law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[author_and_contact_info]<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article addresses child abduction law in Israel and its reliance on the Hague Convention.
