{"id":29,"count":3,"description":"If there are international dimensions to a family-related case, in-depth research is required on whether this will have implications for the procedure. The exact contents of a case will determine whether the Dutch Court is deemed competent to handle it. Next, the applicable law should be determined.

These are challenging, yet rewarding, cases that can only be handled properly by highly specialized family lawyers.\u00a0In family law, various treaties and Regulations apply in addition to the general (Dutch domestic) legislation.

International child abduction<\/h4>\r\nWhen, after separation, either of the partners wants to take the children abroad, they usually need the other parent's consent. If that parent objects and the other parent still leaves, this can be considered child abduction, which may have \u2013 extremely serious \u2013 consequences! The 1980 Hague Abduction Convention may be applicable and quick action should be taken. Moreover, thorough knowledge of the Hague Protection of Minors Conventions (1961 and 1996) and the Brussels II-bis Regulation are indispensable for these cases. Children may also be abducted to the Netherlands from abroad. A return request (interim injunction proceedings with quick appeal option) should always be filed in the country to which the children were taken. Please note that this is a different procedure from the one which determines where and with which parent the children will eventually live: those matters are brought to court in the country where the children have their habitual residence.\r\n

International adoption<\/h4>\r\nChildren can be adopted within the Netherlands, for example by a stepparent, yet adoptions can also be international. The first important consideration is whether the child's country of origin is a party to the Hague Adoption Treaty. In order to give the appropriate legal advice, a lawyer also takes into account the adoption stage: Has the Ministry of Security and Justice already granted 'permission in principle' on the recommendation of the Child Care and Protection Board? For cross-border adoptions, this does not mean that a parent automatically gets parental authority, as this depends on whether it is a closed or an open adoption. In short, there are many intricacies involved that require expert legal advice.\r\n\r\nLiving and working abroad for a prolonged period of time, or living and working in different countries, is becoming increasingly common in today's globalized society. With these developments, international family law is becoming more important than ever.
