Case Overview

In early 2024, our client—a mother of two—faced an urgent custody dispute after her former partner unilaterally relocated their children outside Madrid without consent. The situation threatened to escalate into an international parental child abduction under the Hague Convention.

Our family law team immediately filed an emergency motion with the Madrid Family Court, secured temporary sole custody, and coordinated with Spanish judicial authorities to ensure the children’s safe return. Through strategic negotiation and evidence-based advocacy, we achieved a permanent custody arrangement that prioritized the children’s stability and emotional well-being.

Key Legal Strategies

• Emergency injunction to prevent relocation
• Psychological evaluation of minor children
• Enforcement of parental rights under Spanish Civil Code
• Mediation to establish a sustainable co-parenting plan

Outcome

This case exemplifies our firm’s commitment to protecting children’s best interests while vigorously defending parental rights under Spanish and international family law.
