When marriage breaks down for cross-border couples, it inevitably arises where one spouse
feels the need to relocate back to his/her homeland with the children. However, when
planning such intention to move, it is right and appropriate for that parent to obtain the
consent of the other parent? Can a parent apply to the Court to seek permission for
relocation and to leave jurisdiction with the children?
2. What if that parent left without seeking consent or the court’s permission? To counter
such issues, Singapore has in 2010, acceded to the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects
of International Child Abduction, kicking into effect in March 2011. The parent that is
aggrieved can work hand in hand with the Central Authority of Singapore to seek the return
of the child abducted.
