Change The Hague Convention Child Abduction Act 1985

Additional Information

I am British citizan , married to a cypriot, with 4 young children. Harry is 8, Josph is 6,. Alexander is 3 with special needs and Effie is 2. I am currently seeking refuge here in UK.

I am a victim of domestic violence, my children have suffered through the violent conduct of my husband.

My husband Consented and helped us to leave cyprus
I arrived on the 21st December 2014.

on the 23rd January 2015 my husband reported me for child abduction using the Hague Convetion Act.

I will return to court on the 20th and 21st April 2015.

The Hague does not insist that I as their mother return to the habitual residence only that the children will. the hague convention forces mothers in abusive relationships to return to the place they escaped from.


Change article 13 widden the defence. Give mothers a fighting chance!!
