A Hague return decision is not a custody judgment. Do families hear that distinction clearly enough? Article 19 of the 1980 Convention draws the line. #HagueConvention #CrossBorderCustody
Cross-border custody: can parents understand the evidence, not just the final order? Interpretation and clear reasons matter. Which language barriers are overlooked? #CrossBorderCustody #FamilyJustice
Cross-border custody: who coordinates language support, safe contact and practical help for the child? Cooperation should be measured in support delivered, not just documents exchanged. #CrossBorderCustody #FamilyJustice
Cross-border custody: how can a child be heard meaningfully if language support is missing? Interpretation should be planned, not improvised. #CrossBorderCustody #ChildrensRights
A Hague return decision is not a custody ruling. Article 19 of the 1980 Convention keeps return proceedings separate from the merits of custody.
