CHILDREN taken out of Singapore without the permission of the parent who has custody will receive global help to return home safely.
This follows Parliament agreeing yesterday to ratify the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.
The move makes Singapore one of 83 states to agree to track down and return a child who has been forcefully brought past its borders.
This will ensure that estranged spouses will have their custody disputes decided by the courts in the rightful country, rather than becoming embroiled in protracted and expensive cross-border lawsuits.
