Abstract:
When one parent returns ba ck to Japan with his/her child after divorce without consent of the other p arent\, this conduct could be viewed as child abduction. Until recently\, h owever\, there was no way to force the child to return back to his/her orig inal place of residence once the child entered Japan. Now with the ratifica tion of the Hague Convention on Child Abduction\, Japan will be required to return the child back to his/her original place of residence. What is the background for this ratification? What has changed? We hope to explore the significance of this recent development and provide essential information t o the Japanese community here in Vancouver. We welcome anyone who is intere sted in child custody issues in British Columbia and Japan.
