At Retrieve International we have only one concern, that is the safe retrieval of your missing loved one.

Our unique service means that we are specialists in our field and through the dedication and support of our knowledgeable team we  have assisted many families in reuniting loved ones over the years.

Whether this is by navigating the complex systems within the Hague or by pursing less formal means we have always exceeded our clients expectations.

Successful child recovery relies not only upon an understanding of relevant laws and regulations where a child has been taken to, but also a good working knowledge of the country where the recovery will take place. In addition, an understanding of the psychological and emotional trauma placed on the child and parent must be considered.

Retrieve International provides international specialist personnel and advisors to recover abducted children in accordance with legal authorities and the Hague Convention (if the treaty exists in the particular country).

In the US alone the Department of Justice reports 354,100 children were abducted by a family member during a one year period of time; and Europe-wide, the numbers of children abducted each week and/or wrongfully retained in other countries, continues to rise.

International child abduction cases are amongst the most complicated and frustrating of parental abductions. With every country operating its own judicial systems and laws, (where no treaties or conventions exist), original custody and/or restraining orders may not be recognized where the child has been abducted to. Judicial cooperation between states and countries can be highly contentious, and sadly, in countries where no treaties or conventions exist, the issue of child abduction is a prime example of the limitations in international cooperation.
