What should I do if my partner does not return the children following a scheduled visit?
We are often asked by parents in situations where their children have not been returned to them following a scheduled visit about their options moving forward and what kind of services they can expect from a family lawyer to help return their children home safely.
Spectrum of Services
At Genuine Legal, we offer a wide range of services tailored to our clients' needs, depending on the circumstances of their case and the best interests of their children.
Cost-Effective Solutions
In many cases, the most appropriate and cost-effective way forward may be to prepare a brief but urgent letter on your behalf. This letter can explain the situation to your former partner or their representatives, aiming to have your children returned safely and quickly.
Mediation as an Option
Alternatively, mediation might be a suitable approach to renegotiate a longer-term arrangement for your children that aligns more closely with their best interests.
Pursuing Urgent Recovery Orders
However, if there are urgent circumstances and your former partner is unresponsive, the best course of action may be to pursue an application with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia for an urgent recovery order to benefit your children.
Our Commitment to Support
At Genuine Legal, we can assist in preparing court materials urgently to ensure your matter is heard by a Judge or Senior Judicial Registrar, working to have your children returned safely.
