Preparation of Response Documents
It is important to prepare your Response documents in a professional manner. The judge hearing the matter will not be focussing on who is the better parent but will be looking instead at whether the child has been wrongfully removed to or retained in Australia.
Representation

Being represented by someone who understands the law in this area will help you direct your case in a way which is most effective for achieving a good outcome for your children.
