Is your child being held in Brazil?
Discover how the Hague Convention protects you.
When a child is taken to Brazil without consent, the Hague Convention is your most powerful legal tool for a prompt return.
26 Years
Brazil has been a dedicated party to the Hague Convention since 2000.
It is not a custody battle. It is a return mechanism to bring your child back to their habitual residence immediately.
Removal is 'wrongful' if it breaches your custody rights. You don't need a final court order to act; your parental rights are enough.
Dica
Act fast! Filing your petition through the Central Authority immediately increases the chances of a successful return.
Brazil's Central Authority (CNJ) coordinates with international bodies to locate and secure the child's safety.
Does Brazil return abducted children?
Yes. As a signatory, Brazil follows strict international protocols for child returns.
Protect your child's well-being. Ensure the law of their home country decides their future, not the abductor.
