Once a return order is issued by the Family Court, the Singapore Central Authority will assist to facilitate the safe return of the child back to the country of habitual residence. The Singapore Central Authority will also liaise with the relevant Contracting State’s Central Authority on this. Should the taking parent defy the Court order by not returning the child to the state of habitual residence, the taking parent is deemed to be in contempt of the Court. The applicant for the return of the child may institute committal proceedings for contempt of court against the taking parent for disobeying the order of court. The procedures pertaining to committal proceedings are contained in the Rules of Court. A party found to be in contempt of court can be liable to be fined or jailed, or both.
