Clear Proof of Expenses Needed: If a parent whose child has been returned to Israel under Hague Convention proceedings wants to bring an action in an Israeli court to recoup some of the expenses laid out what kind of proof is needed ?

Clear proof that these sums were paid out in practice, and were connected with the abduction/proceedings e.g. receipts for legal fees. In August 2005 Tel Aviv Family Court refused to award a father under certain heads of damage claimed because he had estimated the sums involved, without actually attaching evidence of the money paid out. He was awarded costs in connection with proven amounts he had paid out for which he had receipts, and which were clearly linked.
