Does the Convention apply if an application is made between Singapore and a non-signatory country to either return a child or exercise rights of access?

The International Child Abduction Act 2010 and the Convention do not apply under such circumstances. Unless an amicable agreement can be reached for the child to be voluntarily returned or for access to the child, the applicant should seek legal advice from his or her lawyer in Singapore or in the non-signatory country where the child is located as soon as possible.
