Answers

Bring legal action in Israel for a Hague Convention order for the return of your abducted child, as soon as possible. Your husband's refusal to return your child, against your wishes, after the agreed period of the visit, is an act of child abduction. Singapore recently acceded to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of child abduction,and,following Israel's acceptance of Singapore's succession,as of 1.9.2011, the convention is in force betweeen Israel and Singapore, and can be used in child abduction cases involving the two countries.
