Typically we offer mediation in cases of international parental child abduction.  With the assistance of our specialist mediators, who are familiar with international children´s cases, mediation can offer the opportunity to consider all the options and it is possible that a realistic and practical solution can be reached which would remove the need for further court proceedings.  In the words of one parent who participated in mediation:

"It avoids a courtroom battle, which in this type of situation only gets you to a no win situation."

We are aware of the main difficulties faced during a relationship breakdown when parents are, or are going to be, living in different countries.  Again, mediation can offer the opportunity to consider all the options and ensure your child maintains a positive relationship with both parents and the extended family.
