If the taking parent decides to remain in the foreign country, how will arrangements be made for the child's return?
The Court in the foreign jurisdiction can order the return of a child, but the judge has no authority to force the taking parent to return with the child. If an application is successful, the left-behind parent in Singapore may need to travel to the relevant foreign jurisdiction to bring the child back if the taking parent does not wish to return to Singapore.
