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?

Question

Accepted Answer

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. Should the Court determine that there are concerns of welfare relating to the child, the Singapore Central Authority will reach out to the Central Authority of the child’s country of habitual residence for assistance. This includes liaising with community agencies to put in place measures to ensure the child's welfare and safety upon his or her return.
