It covers:

  • The perils and pitfalls of applications for relocation
  • How to apply for a location order or a recovery order
  • Applications for return under the Hague convention and otherwise
  • The impact of risk on judicial determinations
  • Expected evidentiary changes following the recent parenting amendments
  • Criminal consequences of abduction and breach of orders
