However, the most frequent form of child kidnapping (or abduction) is when a parent takes their child out of the country without the consent of the other parent who also shares custody of the child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two primary categories for this. First, there is the removal of a child from one country to another. Second, there is retention of a child in a different country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We most often see this happen when one of the parents, for example, has dual citizenship and has family abroad, and they decide to leave the country with their child (and without their partner\u2019s consent).\u00a0 Generally, they leave on false pretenses, for example, going on holiday to visit family abroad, and then they do not return to the country, keeping the child with them.\u00a0 <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-27586 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/child-kidnapping-in-Israel-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"child kidnapping in Israel\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/child-kidnapping-in-Israel-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/child-kidnapping-in-Israel-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/child-kidnapping-in-Israel-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/child-kidnapping-in-Israel-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><b>Getting the Courts Involved<\/b><\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your child has been kidnapped by your partner, it is critical to begin the legal process as quickly as possible.\u00a0 The reason for this is because, if a year has passed since the child was taken from the country, the court does not need to require the child to return.\u00a0 Thus, the legal balance weighs in your favor if you act quickly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few more conditions for court involvement.\u00a0 For example, the whole procedure is predicated on the fact that you did not agree to your child being taken from the country (or being retained outside of it).\u00a0 However, this only applies if you have implemented your custody rights before the children were taken. If you have visitation rights only, but you do not use them prior to the children leaving the country, then the other parent can use this argument to strengthen the case for keeping the children abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The court will also examine whether or not the child was at risk in Israel, and if this was part of the consideration when the other parent or guardian took the child abroad.\u00a0 If there was an issue, for example, domestic violence, then the court may decide not to order the child\u2019s return. The convention specifically states that they can reject returning the child if \u201creturning the child may expose him to physical or psychological harm.\u201d Finally, the older a child is, the more their opinion is a factor in the court\u2019s decision; if for example, the child is a teenager and indicates they prefer to live abroad, the court can take this into consideration.\u00a0 If the child is over the age of 16, it is much harder, although not impossible, to have the court order their return.<\/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 series on abduction and child kidnapping in Israel.\u00a0 To read about the <a href=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/legal-procedure-for-child-abduction-in-israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legal procedure to follow<\/a> if your child has been kidnapped, <a href=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/child-kidnapping-lawyer-in-israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">choosing a lawyer who specializes in child kidnapping<\/a>, and more, see the relevant articles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><b>Contact Us<\/b><\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our law office assists numerous clients with matters of family law.\u00a0 Advocate Anat Levi can help you address any of your legal needs around child kidnapping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[author_and_contact_info]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article addresses child kidnapping in Israel (either to Israel or from Israel).\u00a0 Israel follows the stipulations set out by the Hague Convention on the matter.\u00a0 What Counts as Child Kidnapping in Israel When most people think of child kidnapping, they often envision some sort of child predator.
