Your child was taken to Brazil. Time is ticking.
The Hague Convention can bring them back—act fast.
Your child was taken to Brazil. Time is ticking.
The Hague Convention can bring them back—act fast.
“
The Hague Convention doesn't decide custody—it restores the situation before the abduction.
✘ Mito
Brazil won’t order return—courts favor local parent.
✓ Verdade
Brazil is a Hague signatory and must return the child if removal was wrongful.
Who handles Hague cases in Brazil?
The Autoridade Central Administrativa Federal (ACAF) in the Ministry of Justice processes all Hague petitions.
Dica
To succeed, you must prove three things: your custody rights, the child's habitual residence, and that removal was without your consent. Document everything now.
File with your country's Central Authority
Collect evidence: custody order, travel records
Hire a Brazilian family law attorney immediately
If the child was taken from a non-Hague country, you’ll need to fight custody under Brazilian law—a slower, unpredictable process.
Don’t navigate this nightmare alone. Let experienced counsel fight for your child’s return.
