Child Unreturned From Russia : How can I get my son back to Israel,where we live,if his father, who lives in Russia, refuses to return him from a visit?
You will have to bring a Habeas Corpus plea for an order for your son's return at the Family Court, but not under the Hague Convention, which still does not apply to cases of child abduction between Israel and Russia. The Russian Federation finally acceded to the Hague Convention in 2011, but its accession has to be accepted by Israel before it can come into force between the two states.
