What kind of assistance will the Singapore Central Authority provide to ensure the safe return of child to his or her habitual residence overseas under circumstances of alleged domestic violence perpetrated by the left-behind parent?
If the Court decides that the child should be returned, the Court has the power to impose conditions or require undertakings before the child can be taken out of Singapore. On the part of the Singapore Central Authority, should the Court determine that there are concerns of welfare relating to the child, the Singapore Central Authority will request the assistance of the Central Authority of the child’s country of habitual residence to liaise with community agencies on measures to ensure that the child will be protected and not be subjected to any harm upon his or her return.
