Child Flies to Father in Russia – Unreturned to Israel: I live in Russia with my son from my first marriage, my second husband and our baby. My ex-husband immigrated to Israel. I have custody of our mutual son from a Russian court. I agreed that he could visit his father in Israel, but now my ex -husband refuses to return him to Russia. How can I get him back?
You will have to bring a plea for an order for your son's return at the Family Court, but not under the Hague Convention because Russia has not ratified it, so it will not apply, even though Israel is bound by it.
