Introduction: High-Stakes Global Custody Disputes
When a parent takes a child across international borders without the other parent’s consent, it triggers a complex web of international treaties and local laws. Pakistan is a signatory to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. Our Karachi Lawyers & Attorneys provide the sophisticated representation needed to navigate the framework alongside international mandates.
The “Best Interest of the Child” in a Global Context
In Karachi’s Guardian Courts, the standard for custody is always the welfare of the minor. However, in international cases, the court must also consider the “Habitual Residence” of the child. We represent both “Left-Behind Parents” seeking the return of their children and parents defending their right to stay in Pakistan for the child’s safety.
